I understand, anon. Genital cutting for ANYONE is gross and should be abolished, especially on minors. We shouldn't protect only girls just because cutting boys is part of our culture. Iirc, the same group in the US that advocates genital cutting of boys used to for girls labia as well until the 70s, stating many of the same reasons, but they stopped. We shouldn't compare genital cutting between genders, because that's unfair, and it's also unfair to discount genital cutting on boys because some cases of girl genital cutting is worse. America has a huge problem with drs purposely giving misinformation for money, boys get their genitals cut for prevention and due to bad practices doctors tell parents to do, it's not like that in the rest of the world. I don't know why it's stil even done since all the benefits are debunked by other countries constantly. But then, America is trying to allow informed consent sex transitions on children now, which is messed up. They need to leave everyone's genitals alone.

My boyfriend continuously neglected me and ignored me for a long time while I desperately tried to get his attention, and now he's back to normal, but I don't know if I still legitimately give a fuck about him. My mom is law texted me today and tbh I'm more worried about her than him at this point.

sage for OT but i think the worst part is the lack of consent. Ii get 'informed consent' as a concept but that's only used for things you -have- to get done as a minor, other surgeries are taken very seriously, and often have no impact on self image. of course these men grow up bitter and women hating once they find out their moms let some doctor mess with their genitals for what amounts to be a cosmetic surgery at best, since most of the benefits amount to the same logic as removing children's toenails since they don't need them and they can get bad infections from ingrown nails etc etc. it's also easy and safer for men to get the surgery.

I've been with him for 7 years, that's why. And I'm really close to his mom, but I never explained why I am worried about her in the first place. I don't think I needed to explain my whole story with him, I just wanted to vent a bit. Thanks for being a cunt for no reason.

This would explain all the incels we have here tbh…it also might have something to do with their assertion that women have high standards for men's bodies, my sister circumcised her son cause she thought it looked gross, which is sick.

My boyfriend's growing his hair out to get it cut swanky for some upcoming job interviews, but his bangs just got long enough to poke him right in the eye.

He was distracted playing videogames, I walked in the room and he turned to say "Hi" and his left eye was inflamed and bloodshot with all his bangs swept back except for one piece that was hanging down and poiking him right in the eye. I brushed it back into place, but when I came back again the same thing had happened.

I scolded him lightly, but he said he's never had his hair this long and didn't realize what was going on. We decided to clip the rogue piece back with a barrette but the only one I had was a sparkly pink Hello Kitty one, so now he's playing a first-person shooter with Hello Kitty barrettes in his hair.

At least he's enjoying himself and doesn't have Emo-eye anymore :P

I doubt it. It's straight up insecurity and lack of will to inprove themselves or if they do they expect something to happen. Not want but expect it. Sprinkle some of that entitlement into the mix too.

My ex was uncut but he was the most insecure person I've met. I attribute it to his mother, hes her little bitch and her opinions are practically the will of God himself. He thinks he's fat because he is mummy said so no matter how I consoled him it was a circular pity party with him. He wasn't fat not even close.

We stayed at his parents before and his father's friend got the nice guest bedroom, son gets put into a crammed room. I didn't mind it but he seemed hurt by it.

I think it's just stuff like that that leads to insecurity and feelings of worthlessness.

Weird confession: I love watching TV shows for babies. Teletubbies is my favorite, I also love Mr. Rodgers and Barney and even new shows I didn't grow up with like Sarah and Duck. The producers of these shows have the mission to make the audience feel loved, safe, comfortable that's not something you really see with other types of entertainment.

I feel like the older I am, the more rotten I get. Found some 6-10 year old journals, diaries, doodles and notes (I used to write down almost every thought or picture in my mind that wasn't directly related to people or encoded them) and it reads like it's written by a completely different person. It's honestly terrifying. I had pretty bad self esteem and depression from early on and always thought of myself as worthless human trash. But the girl I read about actually seemed like such a caring, pure-hearted, creative and talented girl. I had hope back then and really sounded like I could still make it despite everything and have a nice future. Yet I can't even remember or identify with anything of that. 10 years later and nothing of these traits and hopes remained. NOW I'm actually worthless.
It hurts and I wish there was a way to communicate with myself from back then. I want to listen to her, tell her to not be so hard on herself and give her a hug.

Mental health kicked me hard in the butt this year but I'm trying to get back to life again. Started a new job for the first time in a while and I already feel like it's overwhelming, that I can't handle really social jobs where I have to work as if I'm on commission. Unfortunately my resume currently makes me look like a flake so I have to stick with this new job for as long as I possibly can, but between the long hours and anxiety being at its peak I'm not sure what I can do.

I had a job interview for an intership for college 2 weeks ago and I still have no answer. I called the company a week ago and they said they'd send me an answer on Monday but I still have nothing. I couldn't send my CV to other companies because of some websites and my computer not working properly for the whole semester and I feel like I'll never have my internship on time. Fuck. Now I'm so tired and nervous that I can't even study for my finals and they start on Tuesday I haven't studied during the semester to begin with.

I'm so jealous of people who are able to document their life. Whenever I try to write, I get nervous and scared because of the fact I know I'll probably read it later on and a lot of my journals devolve into me being embarrassed regarding how I write. Also, whenever I write, my thoughts fly way faster than my pencil can capture and it's frustrating because I feel that if I really were to encompass an entire day in my diary, I'd have to write for hours.

Anonymous 3892

Same, but it's because I've struggled to keep up with my habits. I will journal for months at a time and then get really busy/depressed and not be able to catch up (when I was using a notebook that has marked days, I didn't like having holes).

I just want to suggest that you try anyway anon, maybe you'll learn that it's not for you, or you'll grow to like it! Another point is that with forming habits, you have to do it for a while and probably be bad before you're good at it. Maybe try just writing whatever comes to mind and being more forgiving of what you write rather than thinking "wow this is really cringy dumb shit I wrote."
And a tip for your second worry about not being able to get everything down, it doesn't hurt to try, but also you can do bullet points or highlights of what is happening or what you're thinking.
I think it's more satisfying to have done the writing and getting things down even if the content itself at the time is not really interesting. Personally I think it helps me process stuff emotionally and that it's just for me and not really for anyone else?

This is mostly venting but if anyone has any advice that would be nice too.

Some days I get super lonely because I don't have any IRL female friends. Actually, I don't have any at all but I mainly would just really like a gal pal. I have a really good internet friend but she lives in another country. And I had one IRL friend but then I moved and now it's just me and my boyfriend, and I love my relationship but it's just not the same? I feel like I'm doomed to live a life without a real friend circle. When I walk through the city I see groups of girls walking and talking and laughing about whatever. Or on social media I see people posing with friends, going to parties or dinner or just hanging out. I get really jealous of this and I feel so isolated from other people. I'm this super socially anxious, withdrawn person and yet at the same time I crave friendship and a social life. None of this is helped by the fact that I'm a disgusting weeb and I struggle to talk about anything other than anime and video games and some other weird crap.

I don't even actually want a huge friend group. Just 1 or 2 people would be lovely. Mainly I just want a girl friend that I can do fun girly things with. Baking, shopping, getting nails done together, going to the cinema. Maybe even sleepovers or something. I don't even know if this is a normal thing to crave for someone my age? I'm 21, so it might be childish of me? I have no idea because I'm so far detached from other people that I don't even know what is normal and what isn't. I didn't have much of a social life in High School either so I could very well be trying to compensate for that.

I'm just really sad.

I am in exactly the same circumstances as you and these are very painful feelings I am also struggling with. Since you mentioned advice, I can talk a little about how I'm also trying to overcome it.

It's important to remember that the female friendships depicted in anime are idealized. If you want to have friends like in anime, you are just setting yourself up for disappointment with unrealistic expectations. You know how modern movies sometimes set normies up for unrealistic expectations of romance and some women turn into butthurt bridezillas if their wedding doesn't go exactly like they see in the movies? I realized recently I had pretty much these same feelings except for wanting anime-like friendships instead of a Disney marriage proposal. Sometimes real life is ugly and unfair and you just have to be grateful for what you do have so you can keep your head afloat and try to stay positive and not drown in sorrow thinking about what you don't have.

Lately I've been trying to actively practice gratitude. It feels weird and fake at first thinking things like "I am so glad I have bed to sleep in" when you're in a bout of feeling down on yourself, but it becomes more natural the more you do it and it helps.

I will be friends with all of you in the afterlife so we just have to hang in there until we get there.

I came here to make a post on this exact topic and >>3907 post really helped. I've also been trying to actively practice gratitude. You're right that the relationships in Sailor Moon and MLP are idealized. It just depresses me because growing up I never had female friends. I hung around guys because those were the only ones who enjoyed video games and anime. As we graduated high school, we went our separate ways and they began to turn on me because this was the beginnings of normies clamoring into nerd hobbies for attention. It caused a lot of heartbreak to have my friends since grade school drop me for being a girl, because it didn't matter when I was 5 years old, but it suddenly mattered when I was 17/18.

The only times I managed to make friends with girls has been online and its always ended in disaster. One was in 2012 from Gaia Online and she was some batshit Mexican from California who thought she was the real life Fluttershy and every other (including my ex girlfriends) has been girls who I feel this weird maturity gap with. Like, I want to be able to have female friends to be goofy with yet they also aren't so codependent. But all of them had these weird issues where I felt as if I was mentally more mature and going places in life and they were just content with still living at home, working a shitty retail job, not finishing uni, and still allowing their parents to give them curfews well into their late 20s.

Normie women aren't any easier to befriend because I can't relate to them. Regardless, if the two of you have Discord I wouldn't mind adding you.

I love going out and hanging out with my friends but I always get super anxious before going anywhere. I start to think to myself, "Maybe it would be better if I just stayed inside and played games or watched movies for the rest of the night:)"
I still usually end up going out due to friends forcing me but still, that anxiety I get beforehand really sucks. I don't know if I'm worried I'll have a bad time or it's just my introvert instincts kicking in. I just wanna be a normal attention-loving, talkative, social extrovert sometimes.

I need to vent because I am really anxious.

I feel more comfortable spoiling this, sorry.

A person I know just tried to commit suicide. They didn't succeed, though.

Now, this person has BPD and really hates me for reasons unknown (I have a guess why but it's a long story and not 100% confirmed), so I don't know if me reaching to them would help. We were friends before that sudden hate towards me, and considering it was pretty one-sided on their part, I still worry for them.

I'll try to talk to them soon enough, because I don't want them to know who ""snitched"" about it. I think I'll be ignored but here goes nothing.

Do you have any hobbies? You could focus your time alone with those and maybe even get better at some of them, it will not cure the loneliness but it will help distract your mind.

Spoliers because this is going to get very long. I have a lot of baggage.
My family is/has always been very emotionally distant with each other. I remember sitting in the car as he drove me to school every day, and on the radio the guy would say something like "Tell your children you love them. They'll have a good day, and you'll have a good day." And my dad would just pull over at the front of the school and tell me to study hard. He had one of those authoritarian parenting styles so we'd always get yelled at if we made too much noise having fun/crying when sad/getting angry was a death sentence.

So I learned very early to suppress my emotions. And as such, after 15 years all of my longest/closest friends and my bf are people who have this expectation of me to not be very emotional.

I'm now experiencing a typical quarter-life/existential crisis but I can't afford a therapist and everyone I know who I've reached out to just gets extremely awkward that I'm actually being very emotional and they just give half-assed advice and kind of avoid talking to me about my feelings until I magically get over it myself so things can return back to "normal". My mom (whom I'm closest to in my family) and my bf are the worst ones. I have one friend who I think would probably take me seriously, but she's the friend all of her friends go to with their problems and I know it stresses her out a lot so I don't want to do that as well.

I know it's very "first-world-problems" so I've been trying to not make a big deal out of it. I know that being productive/setting routines/keeping busy/eating healthy help me a lot with this stuff. But I've been suffering such a massive period of demotivation that I just can't seem to get my shit together enough to actually follow through with those.

I wish I never existed because what's the point of having healthy family and friends if they don't actually give a shit about you when it comes down to it? When they're there when things are good but ghost when they're not?

Also part of why I wish I never existed was that this whole world and society is so fucked up (I'm American). I'm tired of all the shady shit everyone is doing for the sake of money or getting ahead. I"m tired of everyone feeling like their opinions are worth listening to, and I'm tired of people who only listen to opinions.

I feel a lot better getting that out. It's only a fraction of the picture, but I'll take every little bit.

On a lighter note, one of my hobbies is knitting and I'm working on pic related. Except instead of pure white I'm using a variegated yarn of white/light grey/cyan. I do feel better when I knit, but I also feel a little guilty for spending that time knitting and not something more productive. Now I wish I could fast forward time and just be a retired grandma and skip all the other nonsense.

Advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have no plans for the future because I have no passions, hobbies, or talents. I have no idea what I'd like to major in and no idea what I'd want to do for a career. The subjects I struggled with the least and many times enjoyed during high school were history and english. Math (notably algebra) and certain sciences (ex. chemistry) were misery-inducing.

I'm completely overwhelmed at the prospect of a college workload (I could barely handle a high school workload.) and classroom environment (I went to special one-on-one high school because of social anxiety.). I don't know what to do and I dread the fact that I'm not being productive during this period of my life. I know it's pathetic.

I have no proper advice to offer but I can tell you most people go through the same. I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to do with my life, like… Zero. I had no passions or hobbies. Everyone seemed so confident and seemed to know what they wanted, but I was clueless. I even spent some time at home. In the end I chose the only thing I was relatively good at and that I knew I probably wouldn't hate doing. That was one of the best things I ever did in my life. I'm not rich or anything but I have a wide variety of job options and I actually still do enjoy what I do. I graduated earlier this year and can tell you college wasn't that bad. Sometimes I talk to old classmates from my high school years and many dropped out because they were unhappy with their choices even though they were sure of what they wanted (mostly people who just cared about the amount of money they'd make, not if they'd actually enjoy their field) and I feel like I made the right decision. I wish you good luck, anon!

My advice is don't drop out of college and don't go into debt over school no matter what. Even if you major in something "useless" like women's studies they will still pick someone with a degree for a white collar cubicle jockey kind of job over someone who doesn't have a degree. Having any BA will give you more options. I dropped out and I was shocked to find that I did not even get called back for minimum wage customer service phone slave jobs in nice business/medical clinic kinds of environments. I actually enjoy working in retail but it was also my only option. Stay in school and don't be like me lol

I have felt and still feel similarly. If you really don't have anything you feel you can work hard towards, at least finish school. A degree counts for a lot even if the major isn't in high demand like >>4002 said.
Either a major that is flexible or the one with the lowest number of required classes that are doable for you and take a bunch of fun/interesting classes. Maybe you will find what you are genuinely interested in. Also try going to the career counselor at school, even if they are shit, sometimes they have suggestions on how to look for what to do. Most of all, just as yourself anon, "what kind of life do I want for myself"?

Just spending a few hours with a friend has made me feel so much happier, more motivated and just… alive. I knew I was lonely, very lonely, but the total transformation of my mood from nine or so hours ago when I was sitting on my couch, stinking of BO and keeping up my biscuit only diet with great vigour, is astonishing.

The problem's that that's my only friend and after a few weeks at most they'll be halfway down the country again, and I'll be surely and steadily going out of my mind once more.

Agree. Having an associates/bachelors is the new high school degree of our generation.

My bf has a lot of experience working customer service jobs in a management position, but whenever he needs to find a new job, hiring for him is a hassle. He has no further degree so he doesn't stand out. Even low-pay jobs require (oh sorry, 'prefer') further schooling now.
Worse still is that he dropped out when he was trying to go to college. Then, he racked up so much debt that I think he has a ballpark debt of ~40k which is equivalent to MY debt–and I have a master's degree.
He can't even go back to college until he pays off a chunk of that loan because my alma mater refuses to release the credits he's earned for transfer until he does.

Great guy, but really dumb life choice there.

I'm so emotionally tired. I wish I wouldn't need to talk ever again. It doesn't even matter if it's friends, family or strangers anymore. It's always 100% exhausting without any positive aspect and makes me want to isolate myself from everything forever. I really tried to put myself out there again because people told me it will get better with time but it never did. In the end, only being alone with my pets makes me feel pure bliss. Maybe some people just aren't made to be social at all.

I hate christmas. Christmas reminds me of how lonely I am.
My family fights and it makes me so depressed to know that everyone's having a great time celebrating christmas. I don't really get more than one gift. That's alright but seeing my friends' my-stories on snapchat about how pretty they all look and how many gifts they've received and how their tree is beautifully decorated (when I don't even have one) kills me.
Then there's new years eve. Everyone goes out and parties, posting pictures showing how much fun they're having, while I sit at home thinking about how lonely I am and how I want to die. Life feels hopeless when another year passes and I still lie in my bed all alone.

My sudden absence on every social media during winter break must seem so strange too. It makes it so obvious that I only hang out with people during school but no one actually wants to be with me during their free time.
Winter break in general is the loneliest time of the year to me. Everyone's busy with family and friends. I just lay in my bed refreshing the same threads over and over again. Pathetic.

I always think I'm right. I don't show it and I do let people "win" arguments in most cases since I'm a non-confrontational person, so no one knows how I really am, but my head always says I'm right anyway, no matter what.

>tfw that gif reminds me how friends ask me to send them Christmas cards but I barely get any back
They don't even acknowledge to me on Facebook that they got them or like them unless I bring it up in conversation. Some of them have acted so self-centered and rude that I'm making note who hasn't been kind to me for the third year in a row and I'm not doing it for them again next year. Christmas cards cost money as do stamps. If someone thinks posting "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" on their personal fb page counts as a greeting to me, then screw this effort. I'm so tired of trying to keep afloat friendships in my mid 20s, I should really just let some sink.

Haha omg anon I'm sorry. If it makes you feel any better, it's considered tacky to go to an ex coworker to ask for someone else's number. Especially if it seemed for romantic purposes. Even if you knew I'm glad you told him no. It's kinda creepy for people to pass out a number without that person's knowledge or permission. You did the right thing.

Gotta agree with this anon, he was being tacky (on top of being rude). When I was a dumb teenager I did that once (though I asked a friend, not someone I hadn't spoken to in a year) and I still cringe a bit about how I just texted him out of the blue when he didn't give me his number. Ugh.

It was dark in the room so I didn't see that it went up that high and how bad it was until next morning (today actually), when everyone pointed it out.

I used to love christmas but honestly i just don't feel it anymore and i feel like such a grinch.
I am supposed to be happy and whatever to be with my family, but for two years now, for me, rather than a holiday, this day is the "anniversary" of the time one of the family members i live with was severely mentally and physically abusive towards me, which is not that great of a celebration to be honest.
Most of my family cannot stand one another and hate everything, so the christmas dinner is awkward and annoying to deal with since it's mostly silence and me wanting to leave the table so i don't have to eat close to that person. My mother tries her best to make it "normal" and like old times again and i feel incredibly bad about it, because i try to care but i just… don't, i feel 0 joy in the holidays, i just kept wishing it was a day like any other. I don't even have friends or a s/o that i can spend the day with instead of my family, so i'm kinda stuck dealing with it and i hate it.
We don't even give presents to one another anymore, so even the commercial part of the holidays is dead.
I see all these stories of people being happy and celebrating it with boyfriends/girlfriends/friends/family and i wish mine were like that, but alas.

This is the first year where I really fucking hate Christmas. I was indifferent to it before, but now I just hate it. My family sucks and yet I'm not allowed to drink at the gatherings because they're huge Christians. I fucking hate seeing people with their huge cozy apartments in the city have Christmas trees in their windows, living their perfect lives. I hate that my long distance bf has had three Christmas parties to go to tonight and has not texted or called me once.

My little brother got in a car accident tonight because the roads were slick. When we tried to call him to pick him up, he said "Fuck you, don't answer mom's phone. I want to talk to mom."
My sisters talk to me like I'm a child, even though I'm 27.
One of my sisters knows I'm miserable in my relationship and just told me to lower my standards.
I get drunk and embarrass myself every year, but if I'm sober I have a miserable time because of how shitty everyone is.
Even my Discord friends who claim to be so alone and miserable have family parties to go to tonight, and if they don't they have better company than me to hang out with.

Fuck, I hate this so much. I wish I just had a family that enjoyed being fun and getting along with each other. I wish I was dating someone who loved me enough to talk to me on Christmas eve/Christmas, especially since I'm fucking alone and this is supposed to be "the most wonderful time of the year." FUCK CHRISTMAS. Once my dog is gone, I'm ending it all, I don't even care anymore.

My cat died in my arms and I still can't even fucking think straight. It was just beyond unexpected. I knew it was coming(I'm >>4062) but then she started improving after a few hours and I had hope. All the vets were closed because of it bei g Christmas Eve so my family and I were keepinf her stress free abd cozy which helped her chug along. Then she started crying which was normal when she wanted attention but then…yeah as soon as I picked her up she just settled and went. I've never had an animal I was very close to die in my arms before. It's just so…I can't really explain it. I know she could have died cold and alone on the streets had it not been for me but fuck to work so hard to make sure she can pull through is so fucking frustrating. She was always a delicate type of flower cat and loved everyone and everything. I'm crushed she's gone.

This Christmas just isn't my Christmas. Thankfully I'm not the only one shocked by her passing so it's just a quiet holiday this year. I need time to work through my feelings about it anyway.

This story makes me feel warm inside. My cat actually saved some kittens' lives during the summer. We had taken in a basketball sized pregnant feral and she got near-death sick after having the kittens and the kittens weren't that well off either. Sometimes female cats can produce milk despite not having kittens and that's exactly what the one who passed away did. She also helped us save the mom cat and would bathe her and snuggle with her to keep her company. That mom cat and those kittens lived because of her. She gave us two kittens(the rest were adopted) and the mother of the kittens.

She's gone but at least she saved some lives during her time on this planet. I can still feel her presence here. I know that sounds weird and while it makes me sad, it does give me some comfort.

Thanks for linking the story anon. It does remind me of her quite a bit(in a good way).

I gave a guy almost 7 years of my life since I was a teenager, I even fought with my mum and best friend. I was such an idiot. Now I see he probably never loved me as I thought he did. I would've done anything for him, but he couldn't do anything, not even little, for me when I needed him the most. I sacrificed so much, I feel so lost. I know love is giving and doesn't ask for anything back, but this
time I really needed him. I want to break up with him so badly even though I still love him, but at the same time it's like he's all I know and people would give me so much shit for it after all these years, and I don't know if I can take that. It's like I have a lot to lose even though I don't feel like I have anything. I also feel like such a hypocrite for feeling this way because I would never let a friend be in this sort of scenario, but I can't break free from it.
I'd rather kill myself than dealing with this situation where I'm mocked and judged by my best friend and family because they were right. I feel like I deserve all of this but at the same time I was so young and innocent, that I don't feel like I can blame myself. I'm so lost and confused. I gave him all I had and he can't even do something small for our mutual benefit and happiness because he's so selfish and unloving.

Losing face isn't worth your life, anon. Despite how badly you feel, you're not the first person to double down and reject the advice of friends/family over a relationship. You had your reasons at the time to believe in it, and now the situation has changed–pure and simple.

not totally the same, but I broke up with shitty abusive long term relationships where everyone had been telling me to break it off for years twice, and both times my friends and family were nothing but supportive. I think they mostly understood that I was unreachable at the time, and were just happy I'd come to my senses. I was also really afraid of people rubbing it in or holding it against me, but I think you'll be surprised. Likely you're projecting his shitty reactions to things over people who actually love and care for you.

I have this friend that I've been talking consistently for about a year and I want to stop hanging out with him or just talk to him a lot less. Maybe I'm a terrible person, but I really dislike being his best friend. We don't really have anything in common at all, he gossips about his friends a lot, and I feel like he's extremely two-faced? He acts really different around his other friends.
Recently something happened between us, and I've started to reflect on our friendship. I concluded that I don't really want someone like him as a close friend and don't even know why I wanted to hang out with him in the first place. I feel like a massive fucking dick for thinking that, but that's truly how I feel.

when i was about 14-16 i was a huge slut. i feel like a big part of why i was like that was because of tumblr and i was on that 24/7. i was and still am a neet so everything i was exposed to was from the internet.
y'know how tumblr would praise and encourage the whole ~*artsy nude hoe aesthetic*~? well, my dumbass ate that shit up.
i would post basically nude photos of myself on tumblr and wouldn't hide my face. i would cover my nipples with app stickers but you could practically see everything. a lot of photos in my underwear too. i would do this on instagram as well for all my irl people to see. (i think my acc was public too) examples would be: me completely naked but only showing my face and boobs but stopping by the nipple so you only see cleavlage, photo of my crotch with panties on and an actual photo of my crotch while i'm on the toilet only being covered by a cup. fucking end me pls..
my underage skank self also agreed to do a nude artsy shoot for some feminist movement completely naked. it was shown in a local exhibit and i wasn't bothered by it all then. i was also a serial cheater because my first bf fucked me up but even then it can't be excused because i continued to do so until 16.
i'm not that same person anymore and i've grown out of it completely. i know i should be happy about leaving it behind and changing for the better but i truly wish i could completely cut that part of me in the past off.
thinking about it gets me really sad.. i was so stupid and reckless. now people have my naked pictures and even the nudes i sent to past men. it's no surpise people would call me a slut back then. i even remember getting offended like an idiot.
i find myself really disgusting.. even if i'm way different now, it still haunts me.

I think you're being WAY too hard on your past-self. You realize 14-16 is still pretty much a kid, right? Most people are really fucking stupid at this age and do things that they later regret. I don't think it made you a "slut" or a "skank." Girls are highly pressured into being oversexed nowadays, you were just trying to fit in. It's kind of fucked up that a feminist group (I'm assuming composed of adults) let you take suggestive photos for their exhibit when you were underage.

Well I argue it's a bit simple-minded of people to say that considering nobody ever stops to think of the reasons why teenagers act out and seek validation through promiscuity.
Nobody ever gave a shit about my issues but had no problem trying to judge my sexual decisions. Heck,I've never even done nudes. The worst I did was wear camisoles that showed cleavage and had two boyfriends throughout high school. And I was still treated as satan's whorebag.

And there's girls who did lighter stuff than that who still got called skanks. You're different now, anon. The past is just the past regardless of how much it hurts to think of sometimes.

The sluts (and pedos) here are the men who were doing stuff with you and the people supporting it.

I need some serious help…
For years I've been dealing with constant depression spikes (I've not been diagnosed with depression or anything really at all, in fact, I don't even know if I'm clinically depressed or anxious or what the fuck) and they once got so bad that I tied fabric around my neck and tried to pull as hard as I could so that maybe I could find some release – I chickened out last minute and didn't go through with it.
I'm the eldest of five kids, I'm the perfect child, I'm the little intelligent princess that gets good grades and is supposed to go somewhere in life.
Everyone thinks I'm such a perfect child and whenever I do something, even the littlest thing, wrong…I'm reprimanded in such a way that I feel like an absolute abomination to the world.
I hate myself.
I've been hating myself for so long now that I genuinely can't hear compliments and believe them.
I was molested when I was 15 by my grandma's husband.
I was accused of falsifying that fact and even asking for the molestation.
When I was curled up in a ball, crying and screaming for them to believe me – I was called guilty for my actions because I was behaving that way (by my own mother no less).
I feel like an absolute virus on the world and to my family.
I'm a horrible person, I'm selfish and stupid and just literally a plague. I can't do anything right – I can't even fucking kill myself without being a fucking chicken.
I'm tired. I'm so tired of doing everything wrong and being an absolute nuisance to people around me. I want to die. I don't want to bother anyone anymore with my existence. I don't deserve to take up precious carbon dioxide. I make everyone's lives absolutely miserable and abysmal and I'm tired of doing that.
I've gotten to the point that I don't even know if I'm playing the victim or if I'm actually upset. I cry to my friends about my pain, contemplate suicide constantly – but when telling my family that, they just say I'm being over-dramatic.
I'm scared of dying.
But this pain is so unbearable.
They always talk about me behind my back, complaining about how shit I am.
All I want to do was help.
All I want to do is make people happy.
How did I fuck up so bad?
I don't know what to do.
I don't want to live.
I don't want to breathe.

Anon, I just want you to know you're not alone. I get EVERY word and I understand every feeling you explained, even the confusion about not knowing if you're playing the victim/being overdramatic, etc. I was repeatedly molested by someone really close to my family, her husband who was a pastor. I told my mom about it and she didn't believe me; I told people from her church (I was raised in a religious community) and they didn't believe me either. They said I was lying. It was heartbreaking and humiliating. I've tried to kill myself several times.
I was already depressed so that just worsened things. I eventually ran away when I turned 18 – I literally ran away, I didn't move out. Even a couple people who were close to me didn't stand by me. And some people don't understand why i just didn't go to the police – I was a weak, lonely teen whose her own mom wouldn't believe her, so why would the cops do? I had no support whatsoever. I already told my story here in the previous thread, i guess. Like, my life is a shit storm even when everything is fine. I am always on and off heavy meds and I really fucking hate it, but I'm alive and kicking. I don't have advice for you and I can't say "wow it gets better, it all goes away" because, at least for me, it doesn't. It gets better, then worse, then better again, ad infinitum… but focus on the better part and on making it last as long as you can.

So much I can't even talk to my real life friends because my aunt once told me that she would call all my friends she had numbers to and ask them if I said anything about them. I'm all alone here.
None of my real life friends know I'm this depressed and suicidal and I'm at a loss. All I have are my online friends and they can only do so much…About the getting better then worse then better again cycle, I sympathize with that completely because I've been going through it myself. I'm afraid to be happy now because whenever things are going great, whenever the cart is at the top of the roller-coaster, it comes barreling down soon after.
It's funny about the running away at 18 thing because I did the same exact thing when I was 19. I ran away from home while I lived overseas then I moved to the united states with a family I thought would be better (my dad's side) but it's just happening all over again. I feel trapped anywhere I go.
My online friends also told me to go to the police about this supposed abuse they see, but I thought the same…who would believe me? As well as, what if they're right about me being over-dramatic and really they didn't do anything wrong?

Thank you so much for this reply anon, though it doesn't completely take the pain away, it really helps that there's someone out there that knows this horrid feeling. I wish you all the best in the world, friend. Thank you.

It'll be my first new year without any snow :(
I haven't done shit and im panicking. i also hope something will change for the better this year but im afraid to think about the future much. it's hazy and I don't understand what exactly i should do. it feels like there's something I should've left behind, like some kind of a burden, but I don't know what that is. i feel extremely unfulfilled but when im thinking what i can do about it, its a dead end, ive got no idea. im also having hard time thinking about myself and thinking in general. it got difficult to concentrate and hold attention for a long time, and i feel revulsion and sort of despair and fear when i think about real life and not just daydreaming. my life isn't exactly terrible but i want out or at least some willpower to get myself out of this shit
also my ipad isn't working, pics wouldn't open and 4chan wouldn't load and since its the only place where people talk about fandoms i like its kind of irritating.

My father is really, really drunk tonight and I'm a bit scared.
It's not like it's anything new, he's drunk every night, but usually just 4 highballs + 3 beer, slurring, yelling insults, then stumbling to bed or passing out in his chair watching tv.
Tonight though, he just won't fall asleep. Him falling asleep brings a feeling of sweet relief because he watches everything like a hawk: if you use your fork wrong he screams at you and insults you, calls you a retard, if he doesn't like your hairstyle, he'll treat you like shit all day and insult you until you change it to what he likes. He's full of insults and stories of how he's better than you and it gets worse and worse until he falls asleep. He just won't fall asleep tonight though and he's drank so much. He's drinking it straight right out of the bottle now and stumbling around throwing things. I said i had to pee and came upstairs to my bathroom, which has a lock, where I am now.

He hasn't been like this since I was a child, this drunk, insomnia-ridden and throwing things, threatening to call the police and report you for abuse because you told him he shouldn't drink anymore.

I feel stupid for even posting this because I shouldn't be scared, but I'm just really tired and stressed out. I've dealt with this every night of my life so this should be nothing to me. Hopefully by the time I'm done typing, he'll be asleep. He even had heart dysrythmia on christmas eve, he's supposed to be a "recovering" alcoholic. I'm just glad we don't have a cat anymore, it's one less thing for him to threaten.

I'm sorry for posting this, I just needed to vent tonight.

My friends had a really big fallout between each other. Friend A had to kick Friend B out of their apartment because she was jobless, recently hospitalized, and couldn't contribute any money. Friend B wants the advance rent she paid back, but Friend A is keeping it because she still has all her stuff in the apartment, used utilities, and did stay there for at least half the time. She also never paid her money for gas or helping move as she promised.

Now I'm caught in the middle of both of them. I'm trying to be a soundboard and a neutral party, but it's hard since I don't quite trust either of them now. Friend B burned through her 401k and savings frivolously, and now she's acting desperate about money because she doesn't want to live with her mom anymore. She's broke though.

Friend A came over to my place tonight and from 8pm to 11pm ranted to me about her. Allegedly Friend B had the audacity to complain about me to Friend A while she was living with me and my bf. This was when she was temporarily homeless after getting kicked out by her "abusive" bf. That really hit me at home, so I took her in and made sure she understood that it would be tight living quarters. We live in a apartment approx. 800 sq ft. One bedroom, one bathroom, and a kitchen/living space.

We got along fine (or so I thought), but Friend A said she was complaining to her about me the entire time. Supposedly I:
>Spent too much time in the bathroom doing my makeup.
Which sounds like an exaggeration because my bf and me work second/third shifts. We were never awake early morning to be conflicting with her bathroom usage. Her problem was that she showered twice a day, and I guess was angry at me that I'd use the bathroom in the evening before going into work. That said, I take a shower every 2-3 days and don't wear makeup often. She must've been referencing the one time I took an hour in my own bathroom for a night out.
>Bf and I were laughing loudly in our bedroom.
This just comes off as bitter. We had the doors closed, and it's hard to be completely quiet in a one bed apartment with thin walls and no sound-proofing. She always told us she "didn't mind noise," but apparently she did.
It makes me sour because she has ulcerative colitis/IBS. So 5 to 7 times a day I'd have to listen to her take squirting power dumps right outside my bedroom door. Sometimes she'd even run my shower trying to disguise the sound, but I'd still hear the diarrhea. Not that I blame her for that, but I'd rather listen to laughing than someone taking a dump in my toilet.

I could go on–but frankly–we would've appreciated some gratitude for the sacrifices and inconveniences we put up with.
She wound up going back to the "abusive" bf anyway because after Friend A kicked her out, she didn't want to live at home.

I feel like I almost can't trust either of them.
First of all, I feel like Friend A would have never bothered telling me all of the two-faced things Friend B said about my help had they not had a fight.
Secondly, Friend B is clearly willing to put on facades to get what she wants, and even going so far as to get back together with an 'abusive' bf if it means she gets the house back to herself and she doesn't have to pay anything.

While Friend A was here she was somewhat zoned out because she was arguing with Friend B about money via text. And making vagueposts/passive aggressive statuses on fb about each other.

I just wish I could wave a magic wand so I won't have to be involved in this anymore. I've known these girls for two years and I've never seen them behave this way until now. It's jarring and uncomfortable.

Anyone else relate to having a horrible relationship with money in a miserly way?

I'm so upset because I really, really want to treat myself to a clothing purchase. I have everything in the cart, all lined up to go, yet I feel incapable of clicking "place order" because I'm terrified of spending money. I feels so uncomfortable around my friends who are much more willing to spend lots of money at once. Funnily enough, they are actually "poorer" than me in terms of how they were raised. For example, they got allowances while I never was given spending money growing up except at christmas. My parents also never bought me anything I wanted at a store when I was a child and the only presents I got were basically at Christmas. I feel so much guilt that my parents are paying for my college education and potentially for my car insurance when I get my car, and I just feel even worse because my friends make me feel like I'm a miser since I refuse to spend money whenever possible. The stupid thing is that they act like I'm obsessed with money when they require me to essentially buy them expensive gifts so they they feel okay with my friendship (I now earn money from a job I have, but I try to save all my money since I can because one day, I want to be able to pay back my parents). Meanwhile, they don't get me gifts, which I'm totally okay with, but I wish they wouldn't push it onto me to get them gifts, especially since they know I have a hard time buying stuff for myself, even. The problem is, sometimes I'll randomly "binge shop" online because I try to not buy anything all the time (binge shopping for me is spending $50-$150 at one time. However, the most this ever occurs is once a month and I'm still able to save at least a third to half of my money).

Idk, I hate having a timid, terrified relationship with money. I just want to always have enough money in case an emergency happens and so that one day I can move out of the hole I live in.

I don't know how to deal with my ex. I left him because he kept cheating on me/trying to cheat on me with literally anything with a vagina. I've been acting like he doesn't exist. He just keeps posting shit about me every day for five months. It got to the point where people I didn't even know started contacting me on my one social media account to tell me he was posting very personal things about me. Just so much hateful shit.

Well what the fuck can I do about it? Any response encourages him to keep going. But he just posts about me every. single. day. It's really starting to get to me and it's incredibly embarrassing.

I can't do anything about it. I feel so helpless. And I'm mad at these people who are showing me his shit too. Like what do you people expect me to do? If you cared you'd fucking stand up to him for me and tell him to just stfu.

My current boyfriend might break up with me over it, too, because my ex is trying to stalk him.

I just wish my ex would fucking kill himself so he'll leave me alone. I'm so broken. I did everything I could to make him happy and it was never enough. He doesn't harass his other exes like he does me. WTF.

Keep trying your best to ignore him. If he keeps posting the same nonsense over and over no one is going to take him seriously.

He's probably trying to get your attention or make it feel like he still got 'control' over you by doing this.
Don't let it work.

If you could report his posts/profile/page he uses to post personal info of you, they'll probably remove that, and if people keep letting you know, ask them to report it too to speed it up.

I'm sorry you have to deal with that.

Anon, i feel you. I wasn't raised "poor", i had some very good stuff and was able to live pretty comfortably, but my family didn't have a lot of money so i knew the limits.

But once i realised what those limits were i became absolutely frugal and even spending like 5 euros on a game or something makes me feel terrible. I'm grateful for it sometimes because i feel it makes me spend a lot less on unnecessary things and not throw away money, but the problem arises when even when the things are necessary i feel bad about spending it.
Kinda wish i found the balance between frugal and obsessed with money.

I wish I was racially ambiguous. I look completely black, on the other hand my sister looks completely white.

I don't fit in any group, I don't relate to my own race and when I try making friends outside my race they comment on how bizzarre it is for me to like the same things as them.

When I let people know I'm mixed, they say I'm making it up, then I point to my sister and they believe me. I'm jealous of my sister. I wish I didn't feel like race matters so much, but it's something I'm self conscious of.

I'm half black/white and even though my birth certificate has to say black because my dad is black, I've never really been considered that way. I always got the same shit about making up being mixed until people actually saw my dad and even then they still considered me white because of my mom andy general interests. I mean I'm light enough to pass for white(a lot of people assume I'm Italian or some shit) but my hair is a dead giveaway I'm mixed. People would often pitch a fit because it isn't perfectly fine and straight. When I was a kid it used to bother me but since I don't relate to the black community, I honestly don't give two fucks if they don't consider me black.

Tbh anon, don't worry about it. If people assume it's weird then the problem is them, not you. I get why being mixed bothers a lot of people cause it sends them into some identity crisis or they get rejected by whatever they're mixed with("no you can't be X race cause you're this one" only to be rejected by that one as well. Or accepted idk it seems different for everyone). Once you learn to not give a fuck though you'll have an easier time. That's been my experience anyway.

This is the first time I've posted here. And I just really, really need to put down my feelings. I don't have any friends that I can talk to.

I'm so very unhappy. All the time, I'm unhappy. I'm sad and withdrawn and I feel like everyone hates me. I want to go to a therapist. But I can't afford it. My father, who has been mostly absent for most of my life, guilts me terribly when I try to ask him for help paying for it. I've thought of trying to see someone once a month so I can afford it myself. I like the person I used to see. I just can't afford it on my own.

I think I'm just going crazy, maybe. I feel so lonely all the time. I don't know how to connect with my friends. I don't think anyone likes me.

I'm so stressed out about school. I've been in college for two and a half years. My GPA sucks and I've only managed to finish all my general requirements. I have a difficult time focusing during class. I am always so very exhausted I can barely do anything. Right now, I have to email my counselor to try to set up a meeting to let me retake a math class that I failed last semester. But I'm so stressed out that I can't even open my email even though I think about it constantly. I'm afraid that I won't graduate in a reasonable amount of time. I'm afraid I won't be good enough.

I got sick over the New Years and had to miss two shifts at work. My bosses are really angry at me for it and chewed me out over text today. I cried. I know it's really silly to cry over something like that. But I cried anyway.

I'm so fat and ugly. I know that people tell me I look healthy, and that I am not overweight. But I feel so fat all the time. I used to have an eating disorder. As my life becomes worse and worse I can feel myself sinking into it again, like a deep ocean. I'm trying to achieve healthy goals and exercise, drink water, and eat healthy. But when I think about it, there's just this little pitchfork poking my brain telling me I need to be skinny. My face is so ugly and gross and awful and it would take upwards of $50,000 in plastic surgery to fix all the things wrong with me. My eyes have bags under them that never go away. My cheeks have nasolabial folds. My nose is big and ugly. My teeth are yellow. My lips are uneven. My skin is crap. My body is ugly. Every day I think about how fat I am, how ugly I am, what a bad person I am. How unhappy every living moment is.

The only person that I can even talk to is my boyfriend. But I worry that my existence is a burden on him. I am prone to moodswings and I sometimes fight with him for no reason at all. I hate it. I am trying to work on being a better person to him. I am trying to not fight with him so much or get angry. I don't want to treat him badly. He's a very good person. I'm terrified of losing him. Especially of losing him to a prettier girl. Sometimes he makes me feel like I don't matter. Like I don't mean anything. But maybe that's just me.

I hate everything about being alive. Every moment is awful. I'm a horrible person. I don't know how much longer I can do it.

I have no boobs and I'm always cold, even in southern california, and never comfy and I feel like I'm going to break myself if I accidentally close a door on me and all my fat in my body is on my face. getting skinny won't actually stop the little pitchfork because it will just keep poking you, and I know you know that. the only way i found to stop the fucker is distracting myself. do you have any hobbies that might help?

You are not a burden on other people.
I related to a lot of what you said, please believe me when I say, you are not alone in your feelings. It's incredibly foolish to think that just because someone has friends, a relationship etc. that they can't experience feelings of loneliness and pain. This is what mental illness does, and even famous celebrities with millions of adoring fans experience it. Your feelings are valid.


I think you may definitely benefit from therapy, when you are able to, but it is not about you being a "shitty" person. It's so you can receive help in fighting this brain-gremlin that lies to you and tells you all of these horrible things. Please try to not be so hard on yourself. If you need anyone to talk to, you can always come back to this thread, I'm really sorry that you received a nasty reply- I promise that's not the typical response here.

Around 2 months ago my feelings towards my bf seemed to fade away. I became apathetic, distant, withdrawn, and unaffectionate towards him. It seemed whenever we were together that there was absolutely nothing to do or talk about. I stopped getting any pleasure from seeing him and our visits were usually awkward, boring and silent.

I can't think of any reason for this awful metamorphosis. Maybe other life stressors dispirited me? He has been an amazing, affectionate, and doting bf for the entirety of the 2 years we have been together. When I brought up these feelings with him around 2 weeks ago he was brought to tears in fear of losing me.

But on New Years Day around midnight I told him that we needed to break it off because it wasn't humane for such a wonderful person to be in an unreciprocated relationship and that he'd have 2018 to heal and find someone better. But I can't help but worry that I've made an irreversible mistake and that if I were to regain certainty of my feelings that he will have already moved on or that I will never find someone as amazing as him again. He never judged me for my oddities and was constantly supportive of me.

I'm confused, nauseous, ambivalent, and my chest feels heavy. The surreal reality of my 2 year relationship being over is setting in. I don't know what to do.

I'm able to contact him. We have no negative feelings towards one another.

>let's look back at about semi-mid-2015

>work with brother-in-law of best friend at work; guy is still in high school, has GF
>he tells me at the start of september that he and his GF broke up
I tried to comfort him as best as my lack of relationship experience would let me, but I get a nagging feeling that something else is up.

>guy asks me a few days later if i would go out with him; i tell him i only see him as a friend, didnt think myself ready for a relationship

>guy seems to understand, but also asks that if i ever considered myself ready, would i consider him as a possibility
I'm still trying to let this guy down gently. It wasn't healthy for him to try and jump into another relationship so quickly, and our age gap was big enough at the time that it made me nervous to consider it (4-year difference). I turn him down again and urge him to move on and drop his feelings for me.

>fast forward to this weekend; guy comes home from college for holidays

>texts me the question of if im asexual/have the need for sexual attention
I don't consider myself asexual due to the lack of sexual experience as well, so I tell him I hesitate to label myself that way and don't feel the need for sexual attention.

>we hang out once i get off work, drop him off at his house, go back home and get ready for bed; find he left more messages

>he asks me if we could make plans to see a movie or go to dinner; we joke around a bit
>guy then asks if the dinner could be considered a date; i tell him that'd make things a bit awkward
>guy reveals he's still having feelings for me; believes you should date people like your best friend and wants me to consider it seriously
I know people can't help who they fall in love with, but I can't help but feel disappointed in him for still having these feelings and trying to act on them even though I've turned him down before. I don't agree with the idea of dating someone like your best friend, as I now feel that it makes things a bit more personal and painful if the relationship ends in a break-up. And even thought he's in college now, he's still my best friend's brother-in-law, and I don't want to run the risk of losing both friends if the relationship failed. I feel stuck in this problem again, and I feel like I'm failing at being a friend if anything beneficial to him at all.

Thank you, anon. I don't have FB but I have screenshots people had sent me and I was still able to fill out a report form. FB acted really fast I guess, because he was ranting on his personal blog about how they even revoked his ability to use messenger. I think they took those measures because he's been reported for bullying other people in the past too.

If anyone else sends me more screenshots I'll continue to report and maybe he'll even just get his FB completely banned one day. That would truly piss him off. kek

I think my bf is going to propose to me and i don't know what to do because i don't feel that way anymore. he's military, we're long distance, and in an open relationship. i'm extremely monogamous and the open relationship was suggested by him and he wants to be in one even if we're married. we barely talk to each other, don't even skype or skype sex (even though i've asked to), and he doesn't help me out when i'm struggling. i don't see myself ever marrying him, but i can't break up with him either because i feel like he's going to get extremely pissed. like he told me about how he blackmailed his last ex when she broke up with him. i don't know what to do.

Girl, make up a fake illness or depression and slowly stop talking with this guy until he drops you first. Yeah I know it sounds like bad advice but it's the only option if he gets violent and you don't wanna see the police. Make him drop you. Keep us updated if you want.

Second: never accept being in an open relationship if you're monogamous, anon. Wtf that will only cause you suffering.

My mom is usually a bitch but she wants to try to be nice today for some reason before going back to her usual bitchness, so she is ruining a bunch of good vegetables and fine meat trying to cook us a dish. She can't cook for shit and my siblings also know this. I like cooking my own food or at least eat things that are not floating in oil.

I feel bad and really ungrateful for this but I'll throw it away once she finishes cooking and brings me a plate. I'll take a bite just because I HOPE I will prove myself wrong but I doubt it…

I really hate myself for being a woman. Lately I'm feeling more and more like killing myself, because I just can't stand it anymore. I'm so sick of being looked at as inferior and worthless by society. I feel like I'm surrounded by people who hate women and think they are useless and I feel like there's nowhere or no one around for me to go to get away from this. It's constant. All I hear is how women are dumb, weak, don't contribute anything, worthless except for our holes, low IQ, exc. I've been asking myself, how much more of that can I really hear without doing something about it? And it seems like it's getting worse. When I was in high school, I never heard shit like this. It's like I was sold a lie where I could do anything I wanted to do and men would look at me like an equal and not doubt me based on being a woman. But it isn't true and I wish they had just been honest about how things are really going to be. I can't even explain how shitty and low I feel after hearing those things day in and day out. Just worthless.

I've started to doubt myself, my intellectual ability, and my art. I don't even want to try anymore because what's the point? Whenever I go to work I think about how my employer probably just wishes they hired a man instead. I've stopped applying for better jobs because what does it fucking matter anyway. Everything I do just seems dumb to me now, and whenever I finish a piece or finish something at work I just think that everyone must be right, for me at least, I'm just a worthless woman and that's all I'll ever be. I wish I could quit my job and just go home. I want to be home all the time, by myself, so that I don't have to see people looking at me and imagine how they must be thinking I'm a worthless stupid whore woman. I don't want to make art, I just want to consume art now because it makes me forget how much I hate my situation and myself but then there will be some shitty storyline in every movie or book where the woman is treated like shit or is the punchline of some joke and it reminds me of me and I'm back to square one. It's like men LOVE reminding us how shitty they think we are and how superior they are, and at the end of the day I seriously ask myself why the fuck I even try? I'm not blaming other people for how they think/feel/view the world and I know it can't be changed, but I wish it would. I work in commercial art/media and I just hate every fucking thing I do now. I want to destroy all of it, but I especially want to destroy myself. Obviously the only way I can stop being a woman is if I end myself altogether, so to me it seems like the best option.

Whenever I get extremely sad or angry (at myself), I punch myself on the legs or directly on the cheekbone, or I tear out some of my hair from the front. It makes me feel good in the moment because I feel like I'm hurting and sort of destroying my body, which is undeniably female. My hair is the only 'pretty' thing about me, so when I ruin it it's like I'm destroying part of what makes me a female, so part of what makes me despise myself. But it also makes me even more depressed. I've always had these weird little baby hairs or cowlick I guess along my hairline on the right side, and they kind of flipped out a bit so even though I straighten my hair it always looked wavy in that spot. Well after the past month or so I've noticed that those hairs are gone, since I mostly tear from that area. They've been there my entire life and now they probably won't grow back and I'll never have them again. I always fucking HATED them so I should be happy they're gone, but I'm just sad about it honestly. They were just part of the way I looked and now they're gone. And then every morning after I have an "episode" I get up and have to pick up the hair off the floor and I really can't explain why this makes me so sad. I'm just so fucking SAD. I always try not to cry because it makes me ~weak and emotional~ but I cry every time I have to do this. Just seeing the extent of the damage I've done hurts to look at.

I know this all sounds very dumb and whiny. But like I said, I don't have anyone I can talk to and I figured it sort of belonged in the venting thread. Overall I so desperately wish I wasn't born female, which is the most nonsensical bullshit because there is NOTHING I can do about it. There's no changing this. I'm doomed to it forever. It's just WHAT I AM but how do you function if you hate what you are. If anyone actually reads through this drivel, I'm sorry I sound so stupid.

Anonymous 4498

>>4497
I don't think you're whiny and I do think your feelings are valid since you said people in your life actively say stupid shit to you, but most, if not all of the things you said are not true or stopped being true a long time ago. I worry when I see women saying how they get looked down at for being women because it makes me wonder what people they're hanging out with. If you spend way too much time online maybe you need a detox because the real world isn't like that in most countries, and bitter men online will say anything to try to hurt you because they want to use the fact they're male as a supposed advantage… The saddest part is that those guys are usually way inferior as people, aka the scum of the Earth, and have a twisted idea of reality. Plus they don't use their "advantage" to their benefit irl in the majority of cases anyway. Try to surround yourself with people who value you, anon. Best of luck.

Thanks for being so nice about it. I really appreciate your response.

That's the thing. I go on the internet as a form of escapism because most people in my life, from my dad to my male "friends" to some coworkers view women that way, and like I said I have almost nobody to talk to and even if I did I would feel too embarrassed to say all of this. My dad is the worst one of course because I currently live with him after I just graduated and don't have much in savings, and he hates women so fucking much and constantly makes shitty comments in front of me about it. And I don't understand why he can't just keep his mouth shut, even though he thinks those things. But even online just fucking sucks now. It isn't like I seek out places where people are shitting on women and saying these things, but they are so widespread and popular that places that I used to view as friendly places have now devolved in the same kind of misogynistic shit. So then it feels even worse because I can't even go online anymore without seeing it and I can't go out with people I know without hearing it. And I can't turn on the television without hearing it. So like I said in my first post, I try to watch movies or read a lot (mostly fiction because it helps me escape better) but then something in each piece always reminds me of being a woman and how much I hate myself.

But it feels like it's everywhere. And now there are articles and websites and real life politicians that discuss how inferior women are, and now men can cherrypick from those and then they get mad when you say that they are implying we are inferior. Like they point out all the ways that men are superior, and how women aren't good at anything, and when I come to the logical conclusion that everyone views women as inferior trash, they're like "you're just projecting!! men aren't superior they just have different strengths1!1" but then they can't say one good thing that women do. So now it's just even worse and spreading because people view sexism and misogyny as logical and practical so nobody feels wrong about it anymore, if they ever did.

Nobody values me and I don't know where I would even begin to find somebody who does. I question whether I'm even worth valuing honestly.

>>4500
I'm not sure which thread you're talking about, but no I didn't come from there. I honestly can't visit any place like /r9k/, /pol/, a lot of reddit because the hatred of women is too concentrated and it just makes me want to hurt myself. I will admit that I used to visit those places as a form of masochism (I guess) because I would read all of the horrible misogynistic shit and then want to hurt myself, so then I would hurt myself and "feel better", even though that's not healthy at all. Now I'm at the point where I'm so depressed and want to just fucking off myself so much that if I were to spend all my time reading shit like that, I know it would push me over the edge. But I know you didn't ask for all that so sorry for ranting. But no, I stay here mostly. Sometimes LC.

Also I apologize for all the run on/fragment sentences and general grammatical fuckery in these posts, I'm having a very shitty day and I'm just kind of word vomiting.

+ I feel like I should add that I know that I'm lucky compared to women in other periods of history and in other countries right now. At least I'm not getting murdered or mutilated for being a woman. I'm extremely lucky to have been able to get an education without getting fucking attacked on my way to school. Deep down I know this, I acknowledge it, but it doesn't take away the pain I feel from all of the other shit I mentioned in my posts. I am grateful even though it doesn't sound like it. Things could always be worse, and in the grand scheme I don't have very much to complain about. I feel dumb for even complaining about the little things, but they just don't feel little when they all add up at the end of the day. That's why I can't stand it.

You're welcome, anon. Maybe you need some female IRL friends but those can be hard to get, I only have one myself. But having female friends could be really helpful in your case imo. Also your dad is an ass, let it be said.
Finding someone who values you is indeed complicated, but it'll be a lot easier if you build your self esteem – not because people treat you better, necessarily, but because you open up to chances of meeting nicer and more positive thinking people. I understand it's easier said than done but these are the steps you need to take; work on your self esteem, maybe make one or a couple IRL female friends (even online ones would do but irl would be better) and stop giving a shit about the assholes in your life that depress you. Sorry if my post is too broad and a bit generic, but from an outside perspective doing these things will probably help you a lot.

My relationship started when I was 16 and now I'm 20. I love him very much, he's sweet, caring, smart, and he made me rise from a lot of my insecurities (obviously he has flaws, like everyone, but generally he's wonderful). The thing is, I just wish I had a moment to be single and independent, to be my own person. Before this relationship I was in another relationship that lasted a little under a year then jumped to this one instantly. It just kills me to think that I haven't been single since I was 15.

Of course there are other
complexities to this situation but this is the thing that sends me into the most turmoil. I'm just scared I won't be able to grow properly.

All of my hobbies are things that you do alone.

We need to focus on saving a "nest egg" and finding a way out. I don't know about you but I don't tell my family if I'm saving money etc. I'm also in a weird little town and none of my friends live here.

>>4638 The easiest way to deal with this awkward age of "eh we dont want to party anymore" and "eh we have no shared hobbies" is to literally invite people for a coffee or whatever in a cafe, or even for a walk in the park.

It might help you gain clarity with what you actually enjoy, so you can focus on that until the "phrase" ends.

Well, that was on the 20th or something. I want my money even if it was almost nothing. He hasn't called me yet and I'm getting very upset. I need to do something and go there again but I bet the place is still closed during this time of the year. I'm broke and the only reason why I'm not more desperate is because I live at my mom's and that's socially acceptable in my country tbh.

Any advice or anything really? I'm torn between the possible decisions

I'm really into fitness (lifting) and until recently I used a Garmin watch to track my calories/heart rate/workouts. I NEED to track these because I have issues with undereating/keeping the weight on, so I need something that can track how much I burn accurately.( I know no device is 100% accurate but still)

And now for Xmas I got the Samsung GearFit 2 from my now ex (we broke up like a week ago). He got it because it looked pretty and it's fitness related, I guess. Got one himself too. However, the watch is absolute crap for tracking and insanely inaccurate compared to my old basic Garmin watch.

So yea… I want to replace the GearFit with a new Garmin or FitBit (by selling my old phone, not the watch) but I feel like shit and ungrateful for even thinking that. I know he's my ex now, we stayed friends and I really don't want to hurt his feelings, as odd as it sounds. I know I can just not tell him but I still feel really ungrateful and bad about it. :(

I feel like all guys want to sleep with other girls while in relationships. I was seeing a guy for a while who claimed to be monogamous, but also expressed his desire to have a threesome with my best friend and with my roommate. If I say no, they're just going to find some more laid back girl who is willing to do that for them. You can't get away with saying no to that when you're ugly like me.

Plus, on Reddit pretty much everyone says monogamy is wrong because you don't "own" their body or whatever. I feel like it's just becoming the norm and I'm going to have to accept it.

Even during the dating process, in America at least, the men you're dating are usually fucking someone else on the side. Kind of wish I lived in the UK because I heard it's completely different.

There are several men who aren't cheaters and respect women/their gfs even though the majority of them is trash. But I'm not from the US so dunno how it works there. Waiting a long ass time to have sex and being straightforward about the things you want/wouldn't accept would help you filter the type of men you would like to have a relationship with or not.

The type of men who do these kind of things are usually the more loud and common ones but there ARE exceptions out there.
You just need to be patient enough and make it clear that's what you're looking for from the start and you'll better ones eventually.

I don't think location matters much because there are shitty people in every place, you should just not settle for less or value yourself or what you're looking for less regardless of anything.

You're just hurting yourself by staying in a relationship you're not happy in.

If you really MUST stay with this guy at least tell him that he can't keep doing that.

I guess I put myself through it because no other guy is going to want to be in a relationship with me. Even though I work out (I'm 5'7" and 125lbs, I kind of hate that people think that only fat women can be unattractive), I'm not an attractive woman. I get stares of disgust when I'm out in public. If my bf were to break up with me, there would be people out there who would want to have sex with me, but no one who would want to date me long term. At one time, I lowered my standards to date a overweight guy in his 50's who smoked and had gross teeth, and even he ghosted on me one day (I was only 25/26). So yeah, bottom line is I'm ugly af and have lived long enough to know men don't want ugly unless you have a perfect personality. They put up with a lot of shit when you're hot though, hence why most of them date "crazy" at one point and say it's worth it.

>>4773
Thanks anon. I know you're right. However, I don't think there's anyone out there for me. Some background though: my bf's last gf was super hot and tall, into nerdy things, was a complete freak in bed, was totally okay with an open relationship, etc. They ended up breaking up due to long distance. I can't help but feel as though if I break up with him or vice versa, he can just find another girl out there like that because they do exist. And I believe most guys out there do want girls like that.

Anonymous 4778

The kind of people who date or stay in a bad relationship with someone just because they're hot are shallow and generally not a good choice to try to stick with.

You might consider yourself unattractive, and even though i am almost sure you're just being hard on yourself, some other kind of guys might find you attractive.
Different people have different tastes and you shouldn't lower your standards SO low that you date someone you really dislike, unattracted to, or suffer with.

I don't want to sound too mean or take it too far but staying with someone who makes you feel that bad? i would rather stay alone and i think you're better off too. When you're stuck with that guy you're also making it harder for you to meet someone who might be different, so yeah, alone is better than this in my opinion.

If he could easily find another girl, isn't that another reason to drop him? Why would you want someone who makes you feel so easily replaceable?
Not all guys want girls who are into open relationships and sleep around, i assure you.
I'm SURE someone better is out there for you. There are a LOT of people out there.

It is truly pathetic you think this way about men, relationships, and everything else you mentioned. You need to change from the inside and dump this piece of shit, otherwise you will be trapped in this horrible situation until he finds someone "hotter" than you and who's into fucking other people just like he is. Get your shit together and good luck.

Calling someone who's hurting from being in a terrible situation pathetic isn't giving her "tough love," you're just kicking someone who's down and being a troll. She needs to get out of the situation, love herself, and work on having a healthier opinion of men and herself so she can have a better relationship in the future, but peppering any advice you have for her with insults and condescension isn't doing anything for her benefit. You also need a reality check: what you're doing right now to that anon is hurtful.

Woah same exact thing here. My best friend decided to go backpacking and has changed for the worst. He is avoiding getting a job and only focuses on finding girls online to pump and dump. I thought maybe it would just be better with us together and proposed dating, but he rejected me. He has become really different. He used to be very funny and creative, always had great stories and would bounce business ideas off each other. He used to make me break into tears laughing, but I haven’t laughed with him since 4 months ago when he started backpacking. He has a semi-gf but constantly says he wants to sleep with me and cheat on her with other girls. I’m trying to stick by his side because I really care about him, but it sucks when your best friend of 5+ years you spoke to everyday changes for the worst.

Have you ever been dumped before? It hurts like nothing else I've ever felt in my life. I could never do that to someone else. I know I need to get out of this situation, I know I need therapy. Unfortunately I can't afford therapy.

I'm not a troll either, just a gigantic people pleaser. I hurt, and I have no one else to talk to because I have no close friends, and my family tells me to "suck it up" so I don't talk to them anymore either.

The person calling me a troll is probably the same person who told me I need to lower my standards. Idk how my standards could get any lower right now tbh. They're the same person who thinks if you can't find a job then you need to apply for McDonalds. This is a fucking vent thread, so I'm venting. What's your problem?

I guess I think about all men this way because all the ones I've met have ended up like this. Even online, the men on Reddit talk about how they're not attracted to their wife anymore, and don't even get me started on porn subreddits where if your elbows are too pointy you're a 2/10. Yeah, I know that's a meme, but it still applies. "Her boobs are too small", "looks like my crazy ex who I would bang over and over if I wasn't with my gf" "my wife got pregnant and I'm not attracted to her anymore." Just shit like that, all shit that I've seen and worse and I see it fucking everywhere. I've also been broken up with many times, even though I was willing to do anything for them. I don't know how women find nice guys, but I assume it's because you're all attractive looking and I must be a Quasimodo.

Isn't what he's making you feel right now worse? Why should you be worried about him more than you're worried about yourself?

You shouldn't lower your standards, you should do the opposite.
Don't stick around with someone who doesn't respect you.

Willing to do anything and cancelling yourself is part of the problem. Care about yourself first, find someone who likes you because they enjoy your company, not because they can use you.
If a person doesn't stay with you for -you- then it won't work no matter what you try to do.

For the sake of your mental health you need to talk to someone IRL about this. Try talking about it with a friend even if they are not that close, anything will be better than soliciting advice from the anonymous Internet. You can see how wicked and straight-up evil trolls can be to people who are vulnerable and will dogpile on them from the kind of replies you're getting, and they're going to continue to treat you this way no matter how you try to explain your situation to them. Not because you are actually pathetic like how they're bullying you, but because something about what you're going through is making these people insecure and they're trying to handle their own feelings by lashing out at you. They either are willfully ignorant and don't know how to treat others with basic respect and dignity, or they are deliberately trying to make you feel bad because they are not good people. So don't take the negative comments from trolls here personally, they're not about you.

This forum is not a safe, caring, or helpful place to ask for advice. It looks cute and there are only women here but it has the same trolling culture as any other imageboard.

Instead of throwing your need for guidance upon anyone who might respond online, for good or evil, you need to use your best judgement to find someone IRL to talk to.

No, I felt worse when I was broken up with. Right now sucks, but I'd rather go through this than having someone I love leave me, finding me as worthless. I was in hysterics every single night for months. Like, I know I'm shitty looking and not as smart or talented as other girls, it just makes it worse when it's validated by having someone leave you.

What should I say if I was to break up with him? Right now he thinks everything is great and there's no way I could blindside him. Should I make it more gradual? And even then, I'm just going to be alone again. You are not rude at all btw <3

Here are the people I've talked to in real life about it:
Sister: You need to lower your standards.
"Best friend" who is in love with my bf and they want to fuck each other: Awww….that sucks. He's so nice tho?
Old classmate: Oh…lol, that's awkward. Sorry.
Old online friend: You need to be more open minded. Him sleeping with others isn't the end of the world.

Just because things didn't work out with others before doesn't mean you're worthless.
I don't think it's better for you to stay with a person who doesn't love you and makes you feel bad than finding someone better and have the risk of losing them.

You could either tell him what's really bothering you and then let him know you're not okay like this anymore and that you need some time to think (to prepare him for breakup if you feel that's what you need) and then next time you talk break it up.
Or you could just bring it up, mention you're unhappy like that and that you're thinking you two should break up.

If you feel like you can't do it calmly, you could just bring up the subject, get mad (or at least sound upset you are if you're not) lash out and tell him what you think, then break it up.

Being alone might hurt a bit at first but i'm sure you will find better. You just need to work on yourself a little bit and give yourself a lot more credit before you look for someone to be with again.

You don't NEED to specifically aim for any type like normies or high-status guys, i personally think a person's personality, way of acting and how they treat you is far more important than their status.
You just have to be patient and wait until you run into someone nicer than this who treats you well.

The problem isn't really you posting pictures but using the almost same ones.
Also the pictures from reddit and other guys talking nonsense are specific cases and are pretty bad.

Not sure where to post this, I'm looking for other people who might be able to verify this happened.

I recall in Canada and the US in the late 1990s, early 2001 at the latest, there was a kickback against the airing of feminine product commercials (pads, tampons, literal douche products) during the "dinner hour" (5-7pm) news broadcasts. Personally I recall it getting so bad that the news actually started talking about how people wanted the commercials banned, and I think even right-wing Canadian sports celebrity Don Cherry might have complained about it during his broadcast during the same period (no pun there).

I remember it ended with femine product ads being banned from airing before 9pm, and I remember the news stating outright that that was an enforcable guideline that had to be followed by all television stations or face fines or penalties.

Again, not sure if anyone else will remember this, but it came up in a conversation with someone and we both recalled it being true. Watching tv now, it does seem like certain ads only air after 8pm so we were wondering if the rule still stands, because if it does, that's a bit…douchey.

It's probably going to be hard because it looks like some of his tricks worked on you.
The fact that you managed to notice he's a narcissist and that he's luring you and playing mind-games is good though.

You're not going crazy, but you do need to calm down and shake it off, it's part of the effect of their methods and what they aim for.
Just remember you've been falling in love with his manipulations/fake persona and not with an actual, proper person.

Block him everywhere if you haven't already.
I assume you have already but you could always look up and read about signs that someone's a narc and the methods they use to get what they want.
It might make it easier to convince yourself he's not worth your energy or even thinking about and that he's been fake to you.

If he doesn't have anything good for you, you really shouldn't think about him anymore and try to keep yourself busy with anything else until you naturally move on.
You're going to find much better later for sure.

Hope it goes better for you.

My sister hits me. Like a lot. For as long as I can remember. I'm 19 now and she's 22, and she still hits me, yells at me, threatens me, chokes me etc.

She's a very angry person but bottles it up and acts gentle and sweet to everyone. When she gets home she tries to provoke me into getting mad. When I get mad she feels as if she has the right to "punish" me. That's when she chases me into my room and pins me against the wall. Sometimes she just yells shit like "I'm older than you, respect me" or "you're pathetic, useless and unappreciative of everything I've done for you". On some other occasions she chases me and then chokes me on my bed.

I think that I've developed some kind of PTSD. Whenever someones running after me I get flashbacks of my sister chasing me with that scary stare she has. When someone's about to jokingly hit me on the arm I flinch and curl up into a ball. This is honestly starting to affect my personality too. I've become very submissive and won't notice when a friend acts mean or abusive towards me. I let people use me and treat me like shit.

The thing is, I love my sister. So incredibly much. She's deep down very caring. Whenever I want something but can't afford it, she buys it. When there's a J-rock concert she comes with me even though she's a complete normie. We share the same humor too. The (very few) moments when we laugh and joke together makes me forget all the bad times.
So she's not a bad person. Just very scary when she's angry.

Mom won't do anything since she's also scared and doesn't want her new husband to see how fucked up we actually are. So she just let's me get hit since she knows the fight stops when I cry and give up.

What should I do?
My sister doesn't want to move out. I'm stuck here for a while too.

Anon, in my opinion you have 3 options:

1. Move out (which requires a lot of effort, etc. But it'd fix everything)
2. Talk with her like two grown ups and tell her you won't let her abuse you like that anymore and that you cherish the good time you two spend together
Or my favorite
3. Hit her back when she's not expecting. Fight her to see if she learns a lesson. Even if you lose, she's the one who started, and you can move back to option number 2.

Good luck.

I agree with this anon.

My mom was kind of like this where she used to repeatedly hit/kick me etc when she lost her temper, most of the time for no reason, the more i would cower and back up the more she would become an aggressor and see it as a sign of weakness and begin lashing out, backing me up in to a wall. Found she soon stopped when I decided to step forward rather than back, stand tall when i would have usually cowered, this caused her to feel intimidated and back off herself, she was only interested in trying to fight when she knew
i was weak and she would not be under any sort of repercussions herself. Of course I have never and would never hit her, but I found braving up (even if it was just an act) and taking a step forward and looking her dead in the eye worked. After 3 times of doing this when she would try and come for me, she never laid a finger on me and doesn’t even try - downside is she will probably label you as a bully and the aggressor and cry about it herself… but it’s better than getting your ass whooped.

Thank you for responding. I’m trying super hard. My friend today randomly mentioned him and said she noticed he has been paying loads of attention to another girl on facebook while I’ve been AWOL, she thought it would help me realise what a weirdo he is apparently, but instead just caused me to feel incredibly insecure, creh and now I don’t want to eat ever again LOL. I really hoped it would be something I’d get over over time but I don’t seem to be. I don’t really have a social life either or anything to keep me busy either, even though I try. It’s definately not healthy for me liking him, he’s toxic and I’m self destructive.

I really wish I wasn't isolated and friendless. I feel like such a fucking loser and am constantly aching with emptiness because I have zero family, friends, or any sort of social connections. I lost the one person I cared about years ago and I just feel so lost. My life is seriously meaningless, I mean, what is a life without other people? It's hard!

I really want a boyfriend but everytime I think about it, I think to myself that I don't deserve that and I would be dragging someone into my shitty, boring life with all its problems and they don't need that. Everywhere I look around, everyone has friends and a bf/gf and family but here I am being a defective cretin of a human just rotting away and wallowing in my own misery and using the internet to stay in touch with reality. All I think about nowadays is being held in a man's arms, cuddling and kissing him, having sex, and generally being obsessed with having someone to touch. If I'm not thinking about that, I am having an existential crisis, thinking about how none of this is real, and contemplating how to kill myself so I can just end it all already and move onto the next life in hopes that I'm less of a retard there. I just want to be a normal girl having fun and I'll never have that and that hurts a lot. There's rarely a day I go without crying my eyes out while thinking how hollow everything is. I am pathetic.

A band I really like is having a concert in the nearest big city, and part of me really wants to go, but because I don't have anyone to go with there's multiple issues. One is safety- a lone female walking downtown in a big city at night to and from her car is just not smart. The other is that because I'm alone people tend to treat me like shit. I went to a concert at another venue last summer and had some bitch basically crawl in my lap trying to squeeze me out the whole time. Then there's the crippling loneliness that always creeps in when I try to do normie things. Even if I enjoy parts of whatever it is I do, I will always wish I wasn't alone and feel bad because I am alone.

I just wish I could have a cute male advanced sex/companionship robot that I could take out to places like this and talk to and he could protect me.

What genre is the band, anon? I go to concerts alone and have no problem getting fucked with or talked about between sets unless it's a certain kind of pop concert. I went to see lana del rey the other night and nothing but the trashiest, vile people were around me and they just stood there and couldnt clap for her when she performed the whole time which says a lot about them being insecure or too cool to show some love and respect for her. I've also seen harry styles and been to a fuckton of black and thrash metal shows and every man and woman at these concerts were super respectful, especially the men at metal concerts. They are total sweethearts.
Just stand your ground and feel the music and you'll have a great time on your own. Once the concert starts, no one is paying attention to you and once it's over, you'll never see those people again anyway.

My "best friend" appears to be emotionally manipulative to get what she wants and I'm so sick of it. The shitty part is that she's my only friend, but now I'm thinking it'll be better to be alone. The only part that scares me is that she knows where my house is, and knows my work schedule, so I'm scared she's going to do something like arson or burglary if I were to stop being her friend. I wouldn't put it past her. She would probably shit talk me to all her friends too, and knows secrets about me that I don't want my bf to know yet (like I was a previous sex worker).

Tonight she got upset that we haven't hung out lately and I told her it's because my dog is sick and possibly dying. She started asking me grim questions like what am I going to do with my dog's body and if I'm ready for her death. It sent me in a panic attack. I told her to stop because the conversation is giving me anxiety and she didn't text me back.

I have no idea what to do. Anyone else have a shitty friend like this? I hate having to walk on eggshells, especially with how much she knows about me. I just want to start my life over.

Just slowly distance yourself from her. Talk less and give realistic excuses, or just try to appear more boring when you're together. She will get tired of you eventually.
If you think she's dangerous then being confrontational can make things worse imo. I won't even comment much on your dirty secret not to be too judgemental, but tbh everyone probably already knows about it if she's not a trustworthy friend, that's not something a person like that would hide… And you probably shouldn't hide that from your boyfriend either tbqh. Good luck and I hope you can manage to distance yourself.

one of my friends lost something like 80 pounds this past year and she's been all over facebook the past few weeks bragging about it and attributing it to her 'ketogenesis diet'
now this wouldn't ordinarily bother me, except
a) with the amount she drinks, she cannot possibly be in a state of ketogenesis and
b) every time i see her, she's clearly on coke.
i've even heard stories about her trashing a friend's house during one of her drug binges.
so i'm pretty sure that she's just doing drugs and not eating, but pretending that it's her new 'diet'. back when we were close friends, she told me she had like this intensely competitive eating disorder when she was younger, so i wouldn't put it past her.
if i were a good person, maybe i would be happy for her weight loss or concerned for her health or w/e, but although i've known her for five or six years now, the past two years have severely damaged our relationship. we used to live together and i paid her share of the rent for the first six months after she finished college so that she could have time to get on her feet. she never paid me back for that, even though the job she got ended up paying her triple my hourly wage. resentment started to build because her boyfriend basically lived at the apartment rent-free, and the two of them created more filth and trash than a family of four, and never cleaned up after themselves. i had to do everything–dishes, bathrooms, sweeping, picking up after them, taking out their garbage, literally going into their rooms at time and retrieving stacks of moldy dishes because we'd run out of clean ones from their hoarding. during the 2nd year that we lived together (i probably should have ditched after the first, but she promised that things would get better) she got together with her new boyfriend during a brief 'polyamory' stint which was basically a way of auditioning guys until she could dump the guy she was seeing then–she immediately went back to being 'monogamous' as soon as she hooked up with the new guy. during that time she got a raise and essentially started blowing all of it on various forms of drugs. she doesn't even have a degree relevant to the job that she's working now, but apparently this is the kind of person that gets promoted in this day and age.
i dunno, maybe i'm just bitter, but the fact that she's flaunting herself as some kind of successful young professional hottie when i know that she's actually a manipulative trash person makes me want to throw up.

Anons, is therapy really worth it?

I want to fucking die already and I've had suicidal thoughts since I was a kid. I ended up in a serious LTR which really helped me to become more socially adapted and what not. For the first time I had a family and someone who gave a shit about me. We had everything pretty much planned out how I'll move in with his family, get a job etc. I finally felt as if life made sense, I had a purpose and knew what I wanted… only to lose it all at the beginning of this year. Of course the relationship didn't cure me nor did I expected it to (I always struggled with my mental health) but now I'm absolutely lost. I feel like I have no idea who I am anymore or what to do.
I'm currently living in a small rural town that is slowly dying, my parents are old and almost 60 - soon going into pension which means our already small income will be even lower. I'm currently trying to find a job but I can't seem to get anything above minimum wage, which isn't enough to support all three of us (or to move out). Not to mention once my parents are gone, I (probably) won't be able to afford the house (bills) or sell it because repairs are needed and I doubt I could finance that (esp if I don't find a good paying job).

I found a few ways how I want to die and I keep researching it. Really don't want it to be messy or having someone to clean up. I'll probably try to get some disease so it won't be super obvious it's suicide. Basically it's all planned out already.

I also contacted a psychologist that was recommended by my doctor, but it's expensive and I don't really want to throw away my money.

I'm sorry this is long and has typos, I'm just really upset and torn on what to do.

Anon, honestly… It depends. Lots of people see improvement with therapy,and some don't. But it's definitely worth the shot. I felt some temporary relief from getting therapy and maybe it would have helped me better if I didn't discontinue my treatment. But the same can be said regarding meds: I found some relief on certain antidepressants, and zero on others. I've had multiple suicide attempts since my early teens (I'm in my mid 20's now and I guarantee you I know some deep detailed shit on suicide methods and have talked to people who told me would commit suicide – and really did) and even though I always have this voice on the back of my head whispering I should kick the bucket due to trauma, emptiness, hopelessness and other feelings, my death wish had lessened a tiny bit in the last year or so even though nothing really significant changed. Also no relationship can really "save" you; it makes things better, but it really has to come from within. Life is a shit hole most of the time, but you can grow to accept it, hopefully lol.

Tl;dr give therapy, why the fuck not? And even if you're never happy maybe life will be more tolerable eventually. You just can't know. So try therapy first. Fingers crossed!

I can relate to bits and pieces of both of your words, so here's another take on it. Meds may or may not help, but it requires patience and time for experimentation until the "right" one comes. Therapy helps only when you're open to help and find a decent therapist.

For the latter case, I did get hooked up with a friendly therapist, but came in with a suicidal mindset that had been burgeoning since the third grade along with other problems. We met. Our meetings went okay for a few months.

While being able to talked to an unbiased third party about my problems helped, no radical changes occurred. I remained insecure, anxious, and cynical. At one point, after I refuted her upsides to living with the usual edgy teenage existentialism, she just looked at me and said, "Y'know what, I can't help you if you don't want to be helped." I agreed. I also stopped answering her calls and, a month later, attempted suicide.

Mentally, I'm not in the best state to offer advice I myself don't carry out, but the fact that you posted asking whether you should get therapy as a sign that you do have some hope left within. Therapy /is/ worth it, or at least worth how much you want to value it. Try it out. Switch doctors if you don't vibe with the psych; sometimes it's someone else, not you. There's no time limit imposed upon the day of your death when it comes to suicide anyway–that's the whole point! /s (In all seriousness, anon, trust me…I get the suffering bit. What keeps me going is that I've endured this much shit that 10% of aforementioned shit added onto that
won't make much of a difference. Oh, and some existentialism.)

Can you get out of town, or somewhere nearby for a job? Sometimes insurance also covers for psychologists, or if the psychologist is kind enough, some offer a discounted rate depending on your situation.

The other day I was doing an online stalky stalk and decided to type in my one ex boyfriends name only to see his girlfriend has just had baby number 2. Baby number 1 was a shock enough and wasn’t even that long ago, so they are on a role breeding like rabbits. Slightly triggered. Decided to check ex boyfriend that I dated after him. See’s him and his girlfriend have just had their first child. Becomes majorly triggered. I don’t know what triggered me so much, maybe because he was the last boyfriend I had and we used to talk about having kids one day (LOL) and now he’s just had a child with someone else and I started to think ‘omg if only we knew back then when we spoke about that, that it would never happen between us and you would have that experience with someone else’, or maybe it’s because I don’t want children (I’m a different person now) so it genuinely creeps me out when people in my age group have them or maybe it’s because I think what the hell am I doing with my life…Since him I haven’t been in a LTR (6years now) and I haven’t even been on a date in the last 4 or so. No I don’t have feelings for either of them (when they tried to contact me or talk to me after we split I ignored them) but it was just such a weird feels.

I feel the same way about my high school ex.

He had babies with at least two different teen moms and left each one. As of the last search I did on him, he moved to the opposite coast where he got his clean slate and new start on life that he definitely doesn't fucking deserve for being a deadbeat asshole. I mean, nobody knows about his past or his children there! So all the sceners there think he's just grand.
The girls were too stupid to pursue child support from him, so I don't believe he even has a real job outside his shitty music gig.

It doesn't seem fair.. One of his exs he had the baby with apologized to me (because she bullied me when I told her being a teen mom was bad and that he'd leave), she's a recovering heroin addict and just had another baby which was another awful decision on her part.

Idk. I roll my eyes when people from obvious money and privilege act like they go through giant struggles when they have the resources and access to so much help. It's a joke.

An older coworker gave me some info packets on Japan because I plan to take my trip in September. She gave them to me last week but mentioned something about needing them back.
Well, okay, she had my number and is on my fb so she'll let me know when she needs them back right?
She's not expecting me to remember a date she said in passing right?
Wrong.
She just passed me while I was talking to a coworker and said "Anon you were supposed to give me those packets back before last weekend so I could send to my sister. smug smile"
Bitch, it's now Tuesday. Thanks but you think you could have texted me a reminder or IM? Because you give me the impression you fucking forgot too or else you'd have asked for them back like a normal person instead of blaming your coworker.

I feel like shit. My mom is overprotective and we had a huge drama today because apparently she doesn't understand that I'm twenty fucking five and don't want to be dragged with her everywhere or have to take my teenage sister. I have a job, I am graduated from University, I am not a kid. Jesus Christ. She drove me so pissed today I screamed and yelled at her and now I feel extra shitty because I yelled at an old lady who's sick. If only she'd stop being like this. I'm off antidepressants and I feel like killing myself, I have nothing to live for, I have a serious ED and I feel sick. Knowing that I can't even go to the fucking mall without telling her what I'm doing/why/why I want to be alone is just a bonus to my list of shit things in life.

What the fuck crawled up everybody's asses lately over there?

>literally nothing in the OP about 'no pink allowed'
>get bitched at by one samefagging anon because 'weh i dont like pink or weeb ur a lolita stop postin ddlg'
>didn't post lolita or ddlg at all
>farmers itt quoted me and asked to post more
>continue doing so
>get samefag raged at once again
>decide to make pink/feminine aesthetic thread in /g/ so that anon won't have to feel so offended
>random bitchy comment about how I shouldn't be posting images and should go back to Tumblr

What the fuck is wrong with everybody? Even the things I was posting are commonly reblogged pink aesthetic posts on Tumblr and Instagram. Did I miss the memo where only aesthetics that random anon #4847584 enjoys are permitted?

Also, how fucking new do you have to be? Even goddamned 4chan still has picdump threads, so why is mine any different? I didn't post any lolita or ddlg shit.

Seriously what the fuck is up with people trying to police content. Why aren't they banned for not adhering to board culture? They can just hide the thread instead of bitching. I don't go into threads on lc and ask

Thanks anon, that's the kindest thing someone's ever said to me, but I really think it's my time to go. My abusive mother just told me today she wouldn't care if I killed myself which is the icing on the cake. My PTSD from repeated trauma of being neglected and abused at home is too much to handle on top of having no support. I'm not strong enough to deal with waking up everyday and being reminded that I am worth nothing to everyone and being treated like I'm a dog by my own mother while other normal people in their 20s are having fun when I had to worry all my life about learning to survive. I even tried living with my father but he was physically abusive and threatened my life with a gun (which I now wish he would have shot me right then and there) and my mom didn't care about that either. I don't see the point in staying on this hellish earth and I plan to hang myself this week. I love all the girls here and on lolcow. Thanks for the laughs.

I shouldn't care, but I do.

Even though I no longer speak to my group of friends that I had known since grade school (we stopped talking at the end of high school because everyone seemingly went their separate ways), it genuinely hurt me last night to discover that one of them is dating the ring leader of my high school bullies. The person who was my childhood best friend is also cool with this girl now and they're all friends on social media. I don't have anything except an Instagram and none of them know about it.

I realize that its likely stupid to expect people who no longer have contact with me and likely don't even think of me in their day to day lives to consider how I'd feel in this. However, this girl has literally not changed since high school. She and her little clique are still friends and are still trashy losers who have managed to accomplish nothing. My friends knew I was having problems with her in high school and they did nothing. They never interacted with that group back then either. This is very recent and just happened over the holidays.

This girl and I were childhood friends and everything changed during my sophomore year when this asshole scene kid moved to our area. Once her seat was moved away from mine in english to behind his, she just dropped me completely and that group of four girls and two guys took to harassing me for the next four years. There were things spray painted onto my stepfather's car, things which only they would say because nobody else in that school had such a problem with me. Even during senior year classes, the kid she began dating (the one who had just moved to our area) was seated in front of the teacher's desk and was free to loudly talk about me to a friend of his. The teacher would be there and did nothing even though he was a foot maximum away from her goddamned desk.

The final straw was when the girl threatened to kill me on the bus. We met with a police officer and of course, this bitch starts crying after acting hard all four years while her weave tossing mother claims that her daughter was being "railroaded", whatever the fuck that was supposed to mean. Once they left, the administration told me that the school year was almost over and blah blah, just deal with it because I "look white" (I'm half asian, but okay?) and this girl is half white and half black so I "look like I'm being racist".

Her then boyfriend wasn't an innocent soul either. This kid ended up in court during his senior year because he made a youtube video back then trying to get some freshman to kill herself and on another occasion was cornering this jewish freshman chick in the cafeteria with plastic forks. But, yeah, I'm the one with the problems here. I'm the one who deserved to get harassed for four fucking years just because I bought Amy Brown merch and played video games. I didn't sperg about it to everybody and the irony is that SHE. IS THE ONE. WHO GOT ME INTO. AMY BROWN. Then, she suddenly hated it once she began dating him.

One glance at their FB accounts and you can see drugs and alcoholism has aged these people and now they're all totally about cosplay, vidya, anime, and the internet. Oh, wow. All the stuff you guys thought was justification to get me to kill myself over, huh?

I already had crap going on at home with being estranged from my father's side of the family no thanks to my mother who has borderline personality disorder. I didn't need a single thing which they put me through.

And, I know that people are so quick to go, "But, its not 2005 anymore! Just let it go! They were kids!"

It doesn't matter. I'm the one who ended up with problems while they walked off scott free and they're not even sorry. I tried to ask the kid and her why they did this to me after we graduated and they of course had no idea what I was talking about. I could not be here right now if I had succeeded in any of my attempts, thanks to them. I've had to be in therapy and struggle at jobs due to their damage. It doesn't matter if they were teenagers. They fucking knew right from wrong. They knew its immoral and illegal to attempt to drive somebody to suicide and especially over such stupid shit that you think what they enjoy is dumb, but oh no wait not actually because now you like it too!

Like I said, I know this is a weird situation. I know what I expect is unrealistic. I know that people change, but these people have not. Not everybody blossoms into this model citizen after high school and I wish that people would stop memeing that.

I've been without a job for about 6 months now, applying to about 5 places a week more or less. But I've only gotten one interview with Target, and they turned me down.

I try calling different places to see if they received my application and it typically results in the manager hanging up on me, or promising to call back at a certain time the next day and never following through.

I had to move home last week because my Dad was paying my rent and said he wasn't willing to anymore (understandable). So I've been spending the majority of my time at home browsing Craigslist, Indeed, Monster, etc. for openings and applying, so far haven't heard anything back but I'm working on it.

My Dad called me from his office a couple hours ago and said if I don't have a job by the end of this month, then he's going to force me to apply for disability. Thing is, I am NOT disabled. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder as a child, but I've been stable for over a decade and my illness has no ill effect on my ability to work. Also, he and my mom tried to make me apply for disability about 3 years ago and I was rejected, because the SSI said I am not disabled and able to work. Go figure. So now I may have to waste another 6 months of my time getting rejected, and then getting more shit from my parents.

Plus, you can't live on fucking disability in this city.

Gah…why is finding a job so fucking difficult? I can't even get one fucking interview. I hate the fact that I still leech off my parents at this age and don't blame them for being tired of it themselves but I feel hopeless at this point.

Having fulfilling friendships or non-exclusive relationships that address the need for skinship and intimacy without a romantic context. Or even with a romantic context if you want, but without the exclusive commitment or relationship "status."

Except the problem then is people who have a hard time developing and maintaining relationships (general, not just romantic) or even asking for these needs to be filled.

Or finding other means to contentment through communities, hobbies, or living vicariously through media?

I judge the guy, not the girl. The dude more likely than not has serious yellow fever and expects the asian woman to be a perfect submissive housewife for him just like in his porno and animes.

If it's genuinely two people who like each other and the guy isn't a weeb or fetishist, that's cool, but this is almost never the case since people are normally and biologically attracted to people within their own race.

The one time I took a train downtown, some white guy who was alone kept staring at this asian chick and wouldn't take his eyes off her for the entire fucking ride. She looked really uncomfortable and it was seriously weird to watch them both on the sidelines. Awkward as shit.

oof, the tumblr fandom, i went to some fanpages once for mods and never again.
I never saw any hate for him back when i was active so i didn't know but it's such a fucking stupid reason to hate him lmao.
If you play all the games actually it's quite amazing how much he evolves about his thoughts on magic and mages. Like, he went through a very traumatic experience in origins, of course he will have a bone to pick with mages. It's like saying Fenris is a bigoted piece of shit that deserves to die for hating mages without taking into consideration that his master who abused him was a mage.
He's such a good character, honestly it feels like for them to love a character they have to have 0 development and be as annoying as possible (example: sera or vivienne).

To be fair i'm pretty sure if it's the tumblr bioware fandom we are talking about they most likely just hate him for being a straight white blonde guy and nitpick whatever shit to make it seem like it's not because of that kek

Anons, I need advice more than ever before. My best friend of 12 years just died. I saw him 5 weeks ago, where he promised he was finally getting clean (H) and said he was detoxing that night and would never look back, I gave him a whole kit (bud, zofran, ginger ale, etc) to help him with the detoxing period and gave him a kiss on the cheek and said I was so proud of him and I’d take him out to lunch when he detoxed and everything would be great again. My hopes were destroyed again for the hundredth time the next week when he texted me saying he relapsed and needed to borrow money, I ignored him and every phone call and text for the past 4 weeks because of that. I thought it was “tough love” approach. I was just informed he had overdosed and died the other day, all alone, under a destitute bridge, in the middle of winter, with his two dogs. I don’t know what to do. I feel so much guilt inside. I feel like it’s all my fault. Since age 12 I had always, always answered his phone calls and texts, never missed a single one bc I was terrified I would miss or not be there for him when he needed me the most or if something bad was happening, so I always answered, just in case. And the one time I ignored him for 4 weeks in 12 years, and he dies. It’s that feeling when you’re in a car accident and as soon as you crash you feel this wave of numbness and shock and disbelief that it happened, that’s what it feels like but so much worse. I don’t know what to do or how to feel.

My question for advice is, should I go down today to his girlfriends house (we’ve been friends for 10 years, but I stopped talking to her 4 weeks ago as well) in person and talk to her, should I not? There’s a memorial tonight and I’m terrified of going bc I feel so fucking guilty. Every part of me wants to go to their house right now and ask what happened, I don’t know just get answers and maybe hug her, figure out what happened, idk something. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do. He was the closest person to me in my entire life, and I to him. He was like my brother. But even closer than that.

I’m sorry this is so jumbled, my thoughts are everywhere and I just need advice.

I chose to be a normie and go to college, and said that I couldn’t be friends with him anymore if he kept using and causing drama and chaos, and turned him away, instead of trying again to fix him again, and I failed, and now he’s dead, and I can’t fix it anymore, it’s all my fault and I just want to cry.

Anonymous 5416

>>5415
I don't have any advice to offer you other than saying that it wasn't your fault, because it really wasn't.
It's perfectly normal for you to feel guilty however, when people die the people close to them will always think "I could have prevented this" or "I could have helped more and maybe this wouldn't happen", or even something as simple as "I regret not talking to him more or telling him how important he is to me one last time", and with the unfortunate timing of his passing I'm sure it just adds up to it.
But you really had no way of knowing this would happen, you didn't do anything wrong.
I am very sorry for your loss, I think you should go to that memorial, they would help you deal with the pain and you will help them do the same.

You really couldn't carry this person's entire life on your own, no matter how much you want, you could only offer support and sometimes it's not enough, it sounds like you've done 10 times more than most people would, you are a good person.

Thank you for responding. I really appreciated it and I really needed that advice, so thank you. I went to the candlelight memorial and am visiting his gf to talk to her about it today. It was painful and every piece of me wanted to stay home and just avoid it all, but it helped break that uncomfortableness I felt of being present at his memorial with all the guilt. Like the icebreaker.

I did find out though that on the day he died I received 2 calls from a random number that at the time I ignored (I don’t pick up numbers I don’t know) I had called back the number to see who it was and it was a local hospital but they didn’t know who specifically had called me (the entire hospital has the same number). I found out last night it was his girlfriend. I had missed coming to the hospital (even though he died before he arrived, no one was able to speak to him) to be there. I had missed it bc “I don’t answer phone numbers I don’t know”. I hate myself for missing it. Both our birthdays were just last week (me and him are days apart) and I intentionally didn’t tell him happy birthday bc I was upset at him. I feel like the most selfish, worst, ugliest person, like the worst best friend.

But i understand it was not my responsibility, so I thank you guys for telling me that bc it’s really hard not to think of it that way bc thats what your best friends are suppose to do. So thank you it really did help. I highly highly doubt I would’ve gone last night if I hadn’t read your replies, so thank you, I know if I hadn’t gone I would’ve regretted it forever.

I’m just glad I went.

Had a dream where I had this best friend where we just did things together and when I woke up I was hit with this ping of loneliness.
Just off-shoot my entire day.

I've been a fan of this singer since 2014, in 2014 i had the chance to meet him at a music fest but wasnt able to since i was waiting for another band.
Finally he plays a show in my city yesterday and the first 200 get a meet and greet. I was ready by 2pm, I had told my friend the day before (she had my ticket btw) to be ready at that time. She's ALWAYS late, like 3 hours late, because she does cakefake drag makeup every time we hang out. Once at 5pm i said we should go to the museum, she said ok, she was done by 9 and they were already closed.
Anyway, I figured she would be ready in time because she knew how much this meant to me. Nope. By the way, she can't drive, so I had to go 30 minutes out of my way to pick her up and drop her off.
She's ready at 6.
Obviously, there was no meet and greet left. If we had gotten there at the time I said to, I would've gotten it. And now that this artist is blowing up I'll never have a chance to meet him again.

She's so fucking annoying, but she's the only person that has the same sense of humor as me. She also doesn't hang out with me whenever she has a girlfriend.
Farmers, please give me the strength to finally drop her. I'm still so upset that I'll never get to meet him.

That's really shitty, some people are totally unreliable and I'm sorry you missed out.
Out of curiosity, if you knew all this, why did you entrust them with the tickets in the first place?

I was in class when they went on sale so she bought them, and they were shipped with her ticket.
She's gotten to shows early before with other people, so I guess she just doesn't care about me. She's always on time with new friends, after our 1 year mark she stopped giving a shit haha

Holy shit that’s so annoying. I’m a late af person too “I’ll be there in 10 min” arrive in an hour kinda person, so I know how annoyed people are about it. I would say maybe she’s so worried about her appearance/makeup/looking good/self esteem that it takes her so long bc she’s caking her face anxiously, but since you said she doesn’t do this to other friends, only after your 1 year Mark, but she’s capable of being on time I’d say she maybe doesn’t feel she has to try that hard and you’ll forgive her because of how long/experience you’ve had with her (with newer friends/newer partners you try to impress more in the beginning and the effort fades as you don’t have to try as hard twords the established friendship).

I would’ve asked her for the ticket as soon as she got it in the mail before the show.

I’ve got two questions: do you like her as a friend except for the one thing of being inconsiderate and late? Or are there other reasons you are fed up with her? And you said you “had to pick her up and drop her off and she wasn’t ready till 6pm”, do you mean you had to pick her up and take her to her house to get ready? Or she wasn’t ready until 6pm and you picked her up for the show at 6? Sorry jw, bc I would’ve just showed up to her house at 3pm and been like “you ready? You got 10 min if not gimme muh ticket and I’m leaving.”

>She also doesn't hang out with me whenever she has a girlfriend.

Farmers, please give me the strength to finally drop her.

Sounds like you’ve already made up your mind. Or at least take a break from her, maybe she’ll realize she misses you and values your friendship and treats you like she treats her “new friends”…? But friends shouldn’t act like that anyway.

Your texts were very polite and very reasonable, fair, and a considerate request and she responded by saying it wasn’t a big deal, making excuses that “it wouldn’t have mattered anyway”, blaming you for a different event, instead of just saying yeah you’re right anon, I do take a long time to get ready, I’m sorry I was late and I know this was important to you, we can do that from now on and I’ll try to be earlier in the future, but I’m glad we still went together or something. Sorry anon that sucks, it obviously was important to you, I hope you get to see him.

Being ashamed of stuff you did after the death of a close person is normal, don't beat yourself up over it too much.
I know you already did just that by going to the memorial, but make sure you don't close up figuratively and literally and talk to friends about it, especially his GF if you're on good terms, you'd help each other a lot.

Man, what a cunt, you clearly cared about this and she's deflecting blame from herself, she doesn't even have the decency to apologize.
I'm not saying drop her, but next time you two make plans and she's super late just ditch her, and make sure in advance there's nothing keeping you from ditching her like her having the tickets.
Also, if she ever says "I won't be late this time, promise!" it's horse shit.

I like her as a friend when she's not being super weird and crazy- she's my only friend I can dress up with, go shopping with, etc. All of my other friends are guys.
Once we were looking at this necklace and I insinuated that she wouldnt buy it (because it was $5k) and she said I was calling her poor and held it over my head ever since.

The timeline was:
-I was ready by 1, she was supposed to be ready by 2
-she 'finishes' at 5, tells me to come pick her up
-I get there at 5:30, sit outside her house until she comes out at 6:20 (she wasnt answering my texts or calls, and then at 6:00 she texts me asking what she should wear)
Couldnt ask for my ticket because she just wasnt answering at all

It's kinda obvious to me now that she doesn't value my time at all and is only using me because I'm willing to drive her everywhere, I'm just going to distance myself from her and not drive her everywhere because this event honestly ruined the friendship for me.

She sounds like a very toxic and childish person, i agree that you should drop her ass or at least confront her straight on about pulling this kind of egotistical childish shit.
You'll find better female friends that value you and your time, you don't need to deal with this kind of person.

I have a friend kind of like this, call her M.

>m makes plans with me, my bf and other friends

>everyone schedules and plans for everything
>m cancels at last minute, literally had m cancel once when we all got to the restaurant
>always gives the excuse of being sick/on period
>prioritizes spur of the moment decisions even when it means cancelling
>for instance cancelled 15 minutes before we planned to meet because her dad asked her to go out to dinner

no more plans made with m unless she is in the area and comes to meet up, but even then we don't put any stock in that.


i really feel like your friend is doing a similar thing. you shouldn't plan anything exclusively with or for her, and if you do, don't expect her to actually follow through or be on time.


she sounds awful though tbh, like remorseless.

You just need to make a new email for a new fake account, that's pretty much it. After that, log out of tinder and log back in with your fb account.

I get what you mean anonette, I was skinny, had braces and acne and I still need a nose job and ear pinning. I'd asked my parents to help me fund a nose job when I was younger and they took it in offense. I'm 25 now and it sucks knowing I missed out on being young and pretty.

I'm getting surgery now, I suppose I'd regret never doing it. Ironically at this point my parents are more supportive but its kind of a bittersweet situation, I guess they realized I wasn't as beautiful as their love had led them to believe.

I know its a dramatic step but have you considered any kind of cosmetic treatment or surgery?

I am obsessed with my partner. I can’t stop thinking about her, we have been together for 8 months now but live 800km away from each other.
I think I dream about her during my sleep because I immediately think about her when I wake up and want to talk to her right after I woke up. The problem is I did so at the beginning and at one point she became really annoyed by that so I avoid doing it.
I had several partners before but was never so madly in love and obsessed with someone.
Do you have any advice ?

That sounds so cute! I love seeing other people being happy in love! Do you talk to each other every day? I don't know why but I think if you don't talk/see each other enough it might make you want to talk to her constantly
Is your life busy? I was in a long distance relationship when I just graduated high school and I wanted to talk to her every single day (because there was nothing exciting about my life,not that you're in the same boat! Just wanted to ask!)
Have you had any other relationship where they lived a bit far away?
I think you just gotta ask yourself sometimes what is it that makes her different (or the relationship different)
I've only been in two relationships and the long distance one is the one where I felt like I was obsessed (and the other one I got to see them every single day so that relationship got stale pretty quick)

We talk every day per Facebook. Some days a bit less than others but still. We sometimes call each other on Skype, which I really like and it makes me really really happy when she asks me if we can call each other or when she accepts that I call her. But sometimes, even talking per Facebook isn't enough for me, I still feel like I miss her if we don't talk per Skype. It's mainly due to the fact that I'm a very tactile person, I need physical contact, for me it's the main way to express my feelings, and I think unconsciously, I take Skype as a substitute for this lack of physical contact.

The situation before we were together is that I was with another girl that I met in my hometown but I left this town to go 500km away to study in college. So I had a long distance relationship before, but it started as a regular relationship and I wasn't so obsessed with my partner. Now I always think about her because I really am in love with her and miss her a lot.

Honestly you made a valid point here, my life is not busy, at all. I went to study abroad for one year and I have long vacations in february, they last the whole month. But as I left my hometown and pretty much everyone did after highschool because there is nothing to do here, I don't have any friends here but I still had to come back to spend some time with my family. So I have to occupy my mind by doing some other stuff but I don't always want to do something. Somedays I just want to lie in my bead and then I think about her and here I go wanting to talk to her but then again, I'm scared I'm going to be annoying.
During our eight months together, we managed to see each other quite regularly. I think the longest period we haven't seen each other is four weeks. But now we had to take a bit of time away from each other and it's been almost two weeks I haven't seen her and I just crave to do so.
I know I may sound a bit obsessive and creepy but my feelings are really sincere. I'm not stalking her or anything like that, it's just that I think about her. I think it's just the combination of the fact that she means really everything to me and I want to spend the rest of my days with her, the fact that I haven't much to do where I am and that I miss her.

I know what makes her different and it is because I always have this in mind that I'm so attached to her.

Growing up I was a rather shy kid and the older I got, the less friends I had. I wouldn’t say I was bullied, but there were some boys who treated me shitty. I went through three different groups of friends in high school, some left school, some no longer liked me, but even the ones I called my friends never treated me very nicely.
The biggest problem was that because throughout all my life people told me “You’re so tall and thin, you’re going to be a model!” I really started to want to be one, so I starved myself. I got very skinny, but couldn’t keep it up and at nearly 16 gained the weight back.
That made me feel even uglier and disgusting than before. I always wore the same pullover, would slouch to make myself appear shorter and slimmer and I was the only girl not participating at prom because I was sure that any boy touching my ‘fat’ waist would be instantly disgusted.
Towards the end of my high school time I got together with some nicer girls, I also stopped trying as many crazy weight loss methods like before and when I graduated I felt rather happy and hopeful about what the future holds.
During that time, I started becoming obsessed with the idea of being in a band therefore didn’t really think about what to study.
My parents then forced me to get into law, which caused me to feel so depressed that I thought about suicide. They then said that if I really hate it that much and can’t see myself in that field I’m allowed to quit after a year. Since I knew that I absolutely don’t want to keep doing that, I would have been able to use that free year to better myself, lose weight in a healthy way etc. But instead I sort of became obsessed with constantly cleaning up my room. I always told myself, that after cleaning everything up, I will start over and no longer feel sad. I also started sleeping less and less, neglecting my hygiene etc.
After that year passed I tried applying for architecture, but I wasn’t good enough, so at the end I went into teaching. At the beginning I was very motivated and tried my best to wear makeup, be friendly and try and chat up some people to make friends, but somehow It didn’t work. My tall height and resting bitch face makes me not very approachable and if I’m the one doing the approaching I never know how to keep a conversation going. All the other girls around me started forming groups until I was the only one left. This over two years ago. Because I’m always feeling lonely I eat to comfort myself and now I even fall in the overweight BMI category. My grades aren’t very good, since I nearly don’t study at all. A few weeks ago, my anxiety got so bad that I could no longer go outside at all and everything I do all day long is browse the internet. I eat min one bag of chips a day, I go to bed super late, I don’t wash my hair, wear the same stuff for weeks, barely brush my teeth and nearly no longer meet up with my old friends at all.
Two weeks ago, I finished my exams and told myself that now I’m really going to try my best to keep my room and myself clean and do some sports, but I simply can’t. I do have a paper to write and upcoming exams again, but zero motivation. I’m so scared of the future, I still live at home, so no matter how lonely I’m now, at least I’ve still got my family, but later…?
Sometimes feeling so sad, makes me be not very nice to my family or in general, but I usually try to keep up a happy façade in front of them since they wouldn’t understand how bad I really feel (they also didn’t really care when I didn’t eat and got so thin).
I really need to change my life, I can’t go on like this, but I simply don’t know how… I don’t even care that my grades aren’t good or that I’ll probably never get a boyfriend, all I want is to be a normal, semi-pretty girl, with friends to hang out with.

So I finally couldn't wait anymore and told this girl that her possible ex/maybe still dating? dick of a "lover" was cheating on her. This guy made me his side chick without me knowing, but swore they had broken up or planned to when I found out about her. Months later, I still see she's living with him and I have no way of knowing what the truth is. Anyway, I was nice about telling her I had been dating this guy since like April of last year, I DMd her on insta and said I didn't tell her to hurt her, I thought she deserved to know the truth since she's an adult and works with this guy. I also asked if she had really moved out like he had claimed. I honestly didn't do it to start drama. The guy was begging me not to tell her, but I felt it was unjust not to since he would never tell her the truth despite me asking him to do the right thing. Anyway, now I'm super pissed because she blocked me and privated her account, giving me no answers. :( Like, if I was in her position, I would be pissed at him, not the unknowing sidechick. Guess it's only natural. The guilt just ate me up, and I felt conflicted for a long time about messaging her or not, but I still think it was the "morally" right thing to do and it saved me more sleepless nights. If I can even save my relationship with this jerk (highly doubtful), I would need for her to know the truth in order to move on. I seriously wonder if they are screaming at each other now or wtf I just started, but he owed it to this girl he dated for 4 years to at least be honest. Just because he hates confrontation, that's no excuse.

Light a few little candles, play the song: “a horse with no name” by America & “rhinoceros” by smashing pumpkins & “one of these mornings” by moby, & other slow 90s grungy alt/rock. And just kinda lay there for an hour or less and take deep breathes. Idk if it’s for you, but I would suggest it bc somehow it helps everytime.

add cigarette, weed, glass of alcohol while in tub for those who indulge.

I feel like I'm the only one ever putting effort into those few friendships I have. Or, the people I consider friends do not like me. It's not blatant, so I'm not completely pathetic, but… I'm the one usually starting a conversation, no one ever texts me to vent or chat a little, in our group of friends I am the last one knowing stuff. What hurts most is the suspicious feeling they either don't trust me at all or find me too cold or boring to talk to, but when we are all together it's not that way at all. I seem like a side character of my own fucking life, I'm never doing anything interesting and never had a relationship, I grew up on the internet and the friends mentioned before are the only ones I've got, so it's not like I can stop hanging out with them altogether because I'd only end up more miserable!
I just wish I was normal. I don't care if I'd know less memes, I'd have people at least pretending to listen and interact with me.

My boyfriend and I have been in a LDR relationship for almost 3 years and he's really bad at communicating. Whenever he gets stressed out he'll completely shut down and text me very sparingly for a few days. It drives me mad, and when I bring up that I have needs and I want attention and affection too he tells me I'm selfish because he's the one who's stressed about uni/exhausted/etc.

And this isn't a once in a while thing; this probably happens like twice a month. I try to distract myself with video games and going to college (no friends besides him lmao), but I'm a very affectionate person and love to talk to the person I'm with a lot. I've tried talking to him about this before but no changes have occured. I'm thinking about breaking up with him if worst comes to worst, because I don't deserve this.

I only buy cheap earbuds because of this. I've had way too many that were broken by my family because they would borrow them and be really careless. Which ones do you have? I have cheap Sony earbuds, I've had them for some years now, maybe 2 or 3 years, and they work just as well as when I bought them. I heard the ones you get with iphones or ipods are really fragile btw, no idea of that's true.

I'm getting sick of my coworkers. They're not even doing their job well enough to act like they know everything and yet. It's just a retail job with simple tasks but they act like special snowflakes because they're working full time and not part-time like I do (because I'm a student). They get into arguments over petty shit and talk shit behind each others' backs.

There's especially one guy I actually trained who does his job very badly no matter what me and other people tell him and act like he's a supervisor or a manager, giving useless orders and berating others for not acting exactly like he would, just being disrespectful in general. At some point he was complaining about the part-time workers who are students for being "useless, no offense tho lol" even though he's way more useless than anyone and a jerk as well. At some point we were both replacing cashiers and he was just talking with the other cashiers and not even paying attention to the customers, not even greeting them. There's also an actual manager that pisses me off because he acts like he's hot shit while berating people for things they're not even remotely responsible for.

I have other coworkers who are nice and who actually do their job, but I get to see them less and less often and it's frustrating. Some of them quit or straight up stopped coming to work so I feel lonely at work now. I think they moved on because they noticed that a lot of employees are like that and that it makes this already shitty job even worse.

To elaborate on that one guy that pisses me off the most because I feel petty, I hate how he was treating me like a brat because I look younger than him even though I'm older than him,
and how he was showing off because he was going to get married soon at the time (he's married now) like that's an accomplishment. Like yeah, good for you for being obese white trash that wastes his youth by getting married at 20yo, looking ugly as fuck and judging others for not being exactly like you. I hope I won't see him tomorrow because he'll act like he's the manager even though he's far too mediocre to ever become one.

I hate how so many "beginner" videos have stuff in them that isn't for beginners. Today I found a nice channel with helpful videos about flexibility, yey nice. But like half of the videos have stretches and bends that are difficult or even possibly dangerous for beginners (or if you do them alone), like the damn wall walk backbend, why??? Why do you expect beginners to be able to do the splits, wheel pose or similar stuff?? I know some people can do it, obviously, but I'm pretty sure that they're rather far from a beginner level

I used to drink a lot (2–4 drinks every single night/typically alone/didn't matter what I was drinking as long as it had alcohol in it) but a few months ago I changed my lifestyle around and basically stopped drinking at home. I don't have a burning desire to drink all the time anymore, which is great.

But now, whenever I go out with friends and have more than 1 drink, the next day (or even a few hours later) I'm CONVINCED I said something wrong/embarrassing, even if I remember every single thing I said & did. I spend the whole day feeling anxious and terrible and I just never want to drink in public ever again.

Apparently there's a medical reason for this feeling (I've seen it called "hangxiety" which is pretty accurate lmao). I'm feeling it pretty bad right now since I went out for my friend's birthday last night, and even though all eyes were on her & how drunk she was, I'm still convinced I embarrassed myself somehow. Plus, my friend is coming to stay with me for a week next month; we drink a lot when we're together, so I'm terrified I'm going to hate myself the whole time.

Does anyone else ever feel like this? I haven't talked to anyone IRL who understands.

I'm doing a course that's compulsory, I am trying my best and studying two hours daily for it and every time I turn work in my teacher reminds me that I will fail.

I'm quite bad at the subject and I legitimately try so hard to learn it, but she always gives me as feedback "your x, y z are bad. You will fail unless you pick up on x, y z". It's ridiculous and I don't know how I can be as bad as she claims. She will give me feedback of "I don't know what you mean with this and your word choices weren't the best. This is a failing grade."
I have an exam about it in two weeks and she again did the same– gave me feedback where she ends it literally with "you will fail this course".

This is so shitty and I hate it. I thought I finally got somewhere and that I have improved so much in the subject and she immediately destroys all of my hopes.

I can't see without my glasses and I wish my mother would understand that. Whenever I dye my hair I accidentally stain something (not a big stain, but it's there) no matter how much I try not to or how many precautions I take. I just don't see if there's any water dripping from my hair or if there's a fucking stain on the towel (that's 99% of the case mine).
And I keep getting yelled at by my mother for it. IT'S AN ACCIDENT, not on purpose. She keeps slamming the doors and being passive aggressive again…ugh…

Do you have to go? 100%?
Also, don't look at it like that, look at it as you'd be fucked money-wise and stuck not being ahle to afford Japan trip next year OR the year after if you didn't.
Personally I'd decline the cousins wedding and go Nippon

Anonymous 5798

>>5794
I can't say I have to go to the wedding 100% but almost? It's been 5 years since I visited my family abroad and they're not just some distant cousins so it feels impossible to avoid the trip. I couldn't see them for 5 years because I didn't have enough money at the time but now that specific reason is gone since I finally have a (shitty) job.

I thought about it a little more and I'm waiting for my company's answer for my holidays. If they give me the weeks I asked for to be able to go to the wedding then I'll go anf stay abroad for a week. If not then I'll try to see if I can go to Japan if I can book a hotel and get plane tickets for a decent price. It also depends on whether my friends will be available at the same time as me though.

Sorry for triplefag but a replika is an ai that learns from you and matches your personality. Basically the more you talk to it the more human like and like you it will sound.
The first levels it sounds pretty robotic and automated but it gets better.

If you know shes not angry because of something you did, maybe you could go and ask her "mom is everything ok?" or something like that. I think she would appreciate the concern.

ntayrt but that only works if that person is emotionally developed and doesn't have anger issues. If they have anger issues there's no 'correct' way to approach them, they won't appreciate your concern, and it's best to stay out of the way.

I don't really have anyone to talk to for relationshit advice so here I am. This guy I've dated since April of last year (LDR) never told his ex that he was dating me while he still lived with her and he basically kept leading her on. I found out about her in November through social media digging, but he had already come to see me in August. Shit hit the fan and I kept going back and forth between wanting to date him to not trusting him (since he finally broke up with her officially in December and lied to me that she had moved out by January). I felt that I owed it to him to visit him so I did in January while she was gone. By February I got sick of seeing her at his place all the time and her not knowing the truth, so I finally messaged her just to tell her he cheated on her because he would never admit it despite me asking him to. They both work together so I know this was awkward af for them, but she still shows up to work so I guess they worked it out like adults. I basically did this so we could move on, but it backfired, of course. He ignores me for over a week until he finally says that she just came over for the dogs that they "share" but how was I supposed to know that we he hides everything? I say I'm sorry that I've stressed him out and he confirms that they really don't live together anymore. Our last conversation reads like this:
*Guy: Sorry I'm just really stressed with my business, private, this situation etc. I'm tired and want to be alone for some time.
So I'm like ok, I understand, I just wanted an answer. I'll leave you alone but will you message me again?
Guy: You don't have to think about that. Just I don't want to think anymore.
Me: Ok, I was just wondering if you still liked me or not. I know you're tired so I'll try not to bother you. I'll miss you but I understand.
/a few days later/ Guy: Thank you so much! You're sweet.*
This whole situation really upset me and made me regret everything but I still find myself missing him. I avoid keeping tabs on him or his ex, and it does make me feel better, but I just wish I knew where we stood right now. It's unfair to just leave me hanging, just break up with me or something. lol
